Have an IGT:

Not sure when the media UMD is going to be updated upstream to use this.
Does that mean I can't merge this until the media UMD is ready? Seems
like it but isn't that a circular dependency? How can the media team
develop for a new uAPI that isn't in the kernel yet?

For what it is worth the downstream release is already using this.
