If you don't want userspace to see some engines, just don't add them to
the uabi list in intel_engines_driver_register or thereabouts?
It will be dynamic. In next series I am preparing the user will
be able to increase the number of CCS engines he wants to use.
Oh tricky and new. Does it need to be at runtime or could be boot time?
If you are aiming to make the static single CCS only into the 6.9
release, and you feel running out of time, you could always do a simple
solution for now. The one I mentioned of simply not registering on the
uabi list. Then you can refine more leisurely for the next release.

Similar as we do for gsc which uses I915_NO_UABI_CLASS, although for ccs
you can choose a different approach, whatever is more elegant.
That is also needed for i915->engine_uabi_class_count to be right, so
userspace stats which rely on it are correct.
Oh yes. Will update it.
I later realized it is more than that - everything that uses
intel_engine_lookup_user to look up class instance passed in from userspace
relies on the engine not being on the user list otherwise userspace could
bypass the fact engine query does not list it. Like PMU, Perf/POA, context
engine map and SSEU context query.
Correct, will look into that, thank you!
