I also built 5.3 with these patches, almost just as it came out:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/64505/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/64614/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/65192/

No fails on X11's amdgpu so far BUT I've changed both TearFree and
vm_update_mode options to defaults (but pci=big_root_window that makes BAR=VRAM
is still active), so it may be just worked around and not completely gone, will
try vm_update_mode=3 later. Would be nice to have some clue about what vm_*
options actually entail for OpenCL, compute-shader and general rendering
performance. I just set them for whatever, code in amdgpu_vm.c goes high above
my head.

Modesetting X11 driver behaves weirdly for me: enabling PageFlip in it still
gives me errors and in both cases it just draws the black screen with movable
cursor above it instead of sddm greet-screen. But amdgpu works, so, fine.
