This strongly feels like premature optimization. If you're worried about
the overhead on amdgpu, pay down the debt by removing one of the redundant
pointers between gem and ttm bo structs (I think we still have some) :-)
Until we've nuked these easy&obvious ones we shouldn't play "avoid 1
pointer just because" games with hashtables.
