Couple of reasons:

1) We can't reliably use sub-IBs (both because on GFX6-7 there are
indirect draw commands that cannot be used in sub-IBs and because the
Vulkan API exposes sub-IBs, so we can have the primary IBs be sub-IBs
already)

2) We believed GFX6 may not support chaining. (Then again, it turns
out the GFX7+ packet may just work on GFX6?
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/22406)

3) Chaining doesn't work if the IB may be in flight multiple times in
a different sequence.

We try to chain when we can but (2) and (3) are cases where we
fallback to submitting multiple IBs.
