It's not in the default set but manual workloads can be given to 
media-bench.pl using the -w switch. String passed there is passed onto 
gem_wsim directly so one or more workloads can be manually specified.

frame-split-60fps.wsim uses almost all new features: preemption control, 
engine map, load balance, bond, submit fence and the "endless" batch.

Only missing is SSEU control for which I did not add an example workload 
(there is a snippet in README though) since the access to uapi is 
blocked outside the gen11 special case. To use that the i915 IS_GEN11 
check in set_sseu needs to be lifted as well.

I'd hope so, I mostly do test things! :)
