New userspace ABI (which this is) needs to come with open-source users.
Also we do the "announce new features to userspace" patch generally last
in a series to avoid unecessary test failures.

Finally infrastructure only used by tests should be done in debugfs, which
has more lax abi guarantees.

And one more: syncpt support and the scheduler are orthogonal imo, and
as part of proper syncpt support we also need to destage the android
syncpt stuff first (since i915 can't depend upon stuff from
drivers/staging). Thus far I have seen neglible efforts from Android
people to make this happen :(
