It'd be if you call any va_unlink() from the vm destructor. Then the
destructor will never get called because of the corresponding gpuvm_bo
vm reference. (IIRC the same argument was made with the vm's resv_bo by
Christian?)

However if there is a vm_close(), that does all the va_unlink(), that
will resolve that circular depencency. We do have it in Xe, not sure
about other drivers.
