[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: disable page queue on Vega10 SR-IOV VF

[Liu, Monk]

Hi team

Why we need this page_queue in amdgpu ?  can anyone share something of its introduction to the kmd ?
According to my understanding , gpu-scheduler already have couple levels of priority for contexts/entities , thus the job page_queue supposed to do (should be mapping/unmapping/moving) is already good took care of by "KERNEL" priority entities, and all other context/entity SDMA jobs will be handled after "KERNEL" jobs ...

So there is no real benefit to introduce page_queue (also for rlc_queue) to amdgpu with the existence of priority aware gpu-scheduler ... unless we are going to remove the "KERNEL" priority and always do the mapping/unmapping in page_queue ...

Looks we ran into several issues about it on vega.
kfd also disabled vega10 for development.(but not sure the detail issue for them)

Thus, we may disable it for vega10 as well?
any comment? Alex, Christian, Flex.
