Thanks for your info.

IIRC, page queue has higher priority than gfx queue(previously we were 
using),
so the PT update job on page queue will always be scheduled first in HW.

And (not 100% sure) page queue is designed for page migration?

Anyway, we can disable it for SRIOV for their existing issues.

Jerry
