If acceleration is disabled, it does not make sense
to init gpuvm since nothing will use it.  Moreover,
if radeon_vm_init() gets called it uses accel to try
and clear the pde tables, etc. which results in a bug.

Alex,
What is accel ?

If the ring tests fail and for some reason the IPs (e.g., gfx or sdma) are not available, the driver disables acceleration and basically falls back to modesetting only.

Is there a situation where accel is disabled and HSA should work ? e.g.
headless
mode ?

No.  We only disable acceleration if we can't get the IPs (gfx, sdma) initialized.  Headless has nothing to do with acceleration in this context.

Alex

OK, thanks for the explanation.
