Ah, indeed. I'll need DMA_RESV_USAGE_BOOKKEEP instead of
DMA_RESV_USAGE_READ in panthor, but I can add it in the driver specific
->evict() hook (though that means calling dma_resv_test_signaled()
twice, which is not great, oh well).

The problem about the evictable LRU remains though: we need a way to let
drivers put their BOs at the end of the list when the BO has been used
by the GPU, don't we?
