Hi Matt,

thanks a lot for looking into this.

The hotplugging capability is one of the features I was looking
for, actually.

I have done some more refactoring in this piece of code in
upcoming patches.

Will check, though, if I can do something with compute_fuses(),
even though, the other cslices are not really fused off (read
below).

Yes, that's what I'm trying to do. The behavior I'm looking for
is this one:

	 /*
	  ...
          * With 1 engine (ccs0):
          *   slice 0, 1, 2, 3: ccs0
          *
          * With 2 engines (ccs0, ccs1):
          *   slice 0, 2: ccs0
          *   slice 1, 3: ccs1
          *
          * With 4 engines (ccs0, ccs1, ccs2, ccs3):
          *   slice 0: ccs0
          *   slice 1: ccs1
          *   slice 2: ccs2
          *   slice 3: ccs3
	  ...
	  */

where the user can configure runtime the mode, making sure that
no client is connected to i915.

But, this needs to be written 

As we are now forcing mode '1', then all cslices are connected
with ccs0.

does it? Or do I need to write the id (0x0-0x3) of the user
engine? That's how the mode is calculated in this algorithm.

This was something I actually forgot to fix. Thanks!
