So for the non-proto-ctx path you can drop the lock right after lookup
is done, if you haven't done so. Should still be clean, and really no
concerns about microbenchmarks because of that mutex_lock/unlock.

Separate patch. Also use the new GRAPHICS_VER macro Lucas Demarchi is adding.

Yeah I need to also recheck the end result (gitlab lost your branch),
I have suddenly some questions about how we handle all the funny
combinations of engines_set vs sseu vs virtual engines in the proto
context again, so will do a final pass there.
