Completely agree, I also mentioned that problem during my talk on 
FOSDEM. But calling amdgpu_bo_unref() to often is a bug in itself.

What we could probably do to detect this is adding a BUG_ON() in TTMs 
release function and checking if the GEM reference count is really dead.

Just the other way around, but yes the long term plan should probably be 
to merge the two.

The difficult is currently we have a mismatch what locks could be taken 
when we drop the references.
