Ok so the hang-up last time around iirc was that I broke igt by making a few things more synchronous. Let's hope I'm not also breaking stuff with the WARN_ON ... New plan: - make this patch here only document existing behaviour and enforce it with the WARN_ON - new uapi would be behind a flag or something, with userspace and everything hanging off it.
