Other way around, at least from the uabi standpoint.  Ie. ring[0]
preempts ring[1]

So, preemption is possible between any priority level before run_job()
gets called, which writes the job into the ringbuffer.  After that
point, you only have "bucket" level preemption, because
NR_SCHED_PRIORITIES levels of priority get mapped to a single FIFO
ringbuffer.

-----

btw, one fun (but unrelated) issue I'm hitting with scheduler... I'm
trying to add an igt test to stress shrinker/eviction, similar to the
existing tests/i915/gem_shrink.c.  But we hit an unfortunate
combination of circumstances:
1. Pinning memory happens in the synchronous part of the submit ioctl,
before enqueuing the job for the kthread to handle.
2. The first run_job() callback incurs a slight delay (~1.5ms) while
resuming the GPU
3. Because of that delay, userspace has a chance to queue up enough
more jobs to require locking/pinning more than the available system
RAM..

I'm not sure if we want a way to prevent userspace from getting *too*
far ahead of the kthread.  Or maybe at some point the shrinker should
sleep on non-idle buffers?
