[PATCH] drm/amdgpu:guarantee 128dws between vm flush and IB(v3)

Yeah, thought about that possibility as well when we change the padding 
to 256.

This happens every time our command submission uses more than 128 dw, in 
this case you obviously have less than 128 padding.

But why doesn't this happen on Windows then?

Regards,
Christian.
