Yeah one thing drm/sched forces you to do is have a very clear notion
about the point of no return in your submit ioctl. Which I think is a
Very Good Thing, at least looking at i915 execbuf where the point of
no return is a multi-stage thing with such interesting intermediate
points like "we submit the ruquest but without actually running the
batchbuffer". The downside is that the submit ioctl isn't perfectly
transaction anymore, but I don't think that matters for tha tail
stuff, which is generally just some out-fence installing. That
generally never fails.
