Well, the choices are that or worse overall performance through having
to ignore the GPU entirely.

The question becomes how to split up two operations.  Yes, we could
submit them individually, but if they're together taking in excess of
500ms, then it's likely that individually, each operation will take in
excess of 250ms which is still a long time.

In any case, I think we need to fix this for 4.17-stable and then try
to work (a) which operations are taking a long time, and (b) how to
solve this issue.

Do we have any way to track how long each submitted job has actually
taken on the GPU?  (Eg, by recording the times that we receive the
events?)  It wouldn't be very accurate for small jobs, but given this
operation is taking so long, it would give an indication of how long
this operation is actually taking.  etnaviv doesn't appear to have
any tracepoints, which would've been ideal for that.  Maybe this is
a reason to add some? ;)
