This is still based on (an old version of) the Xe patches.
Please rebase your patch on top of a clean drm-misc-next, integrating my comments
in this thread (https://lore.kernel.org/r/b52c58e4-8ae6-4272-a67e-d811c6359127@xxxxxxx),
and post it for review.
I don't see much point in delaying this patch and it would most likely be okay
if you post it rebased off of a clean drm-misc-next (so I can apply it cleanly),
and you've integrated my comments in this thread.
