Hm this is kinda tempting, since rolling out the full backoff tricker
across driver boundaries is going to be real painful.
What I'm kinda worried about is the debug/validation checks we're
losing with this. The required backoff has this nice property that
ww_mutex debug code can check that we've fully unwound everything when
we should, that we've blocked on the right lock, and that we're
restarting everything without keeling over. Without that I think we
could end up with situations where a driver in the middle feels like
handling the EDEADLCK, which might go well most of the times (the
deadlock will probably be mostly within a given driver, not across).
Right up to the point where someone creates a deadlock across drivers,
and the lack of full rollback will be felt.
So not sure whether we can still keep all these debug/validation
checks, or whether this is a step too far towards clever tricks.
But definitely a neat idea ...
