The needs of the newer hardware are mostly understood now, so it's not
the biggest problem now, which is good. The only part that is still not
clear to me is whether sync points sharing is mandatory or optional
since it's needed only by a proprietary monitoring software.

This is still not a full UAPI implementation and it's difficult for me
to see how this will integrate with the DRM scheduler and etc.

I don't like that the new code is build upon the old troublesome
codebase. The half of it will be removed later on and the other half
will be reshuffled, which is a lot of effort that could be avoided. It's
apparent to me that it should be much better if we could clean up the
current code base first, but before doing it we need to agree on the
organization of the updated driver, which should help a lot with moving
forward.
