This is why I'm a bit a broken record suggesting that for the fw scheduler
case, where we have drm_sched_entity:drm_scheduler 1:1 and created at
runtime, we really should rework the interface exposed to drivers:

- drm_scheduler stays the thing that's per-engine and stays around for as
long as the driver

- We split out a drm_sched_internal, which is either tied to drm_scheduler
(ringbuffer scheduler mode) or drm_sched_entity (fw ctx scheduling
mode).

- drm/sched internals are updated to dtrt in all these cases. And there's
a lot, stuff like drm_sched_job is quite tricky if each driver needs to
protect against concurrent ctx/entity creation/destruction, and I really
don't like the idea that drivers hand-roll this kind of tricky state
transition code that's used in the exceptional tdr/gpu/fw-death
situation all themselves.

Yeah I expect there's going to be a solid stream of these, and we're just
going to random-walk in circles if this effort doesn't come with at least
some amount of design.

Thus far no one really comment on the above plan though, so I'm not sure
what the consensu plan is among all the various fw-scheduling driver
efforts ...
