The intent was that we only spin for the active (on hw) request. If it
was removed from the execution queue, it is unlikely(?) to be put back
as the next request.

Yes, I'd love to spin out the timeslice, used to give some nice boosts
to some synmarks that kept hitting readbacks. Hopefully, they've been
fixed now to use gpu pipelines!

Yes. We are preparing for global_seqno changing mid-wait due to request
reordering
