I had started writing something along the same lines in my working tree
called execlists_active_user_begin/end -- Which name do you prefer?

What do you expect the port argument to be useful for?  Is it ever going
to be anything other than execlists->port?

This line doesn't seem to exist in my working tree.  I guess it was just
added?

Isn't this going to call execlists_begin() roughly once per request?
What's the purpose if we expect it to be a no-op except for the first
request submitted after execlists_end()?  Isn't the intention to provide
a hook for bookkeeping that depends on idle to active and active to idle
transitions of the hardware?

Isn't there an "execlists_clear_active(execlists,
EXECLISTS_ACTIVE_USER);" call in your tree a few lines below that is now
redundant?
