I want to avoid that for the initial implementation. So far dynamic only 
meant that we have the new locking semantics.

We could make that mandatory after this patch set when amdgpu is 
migrated and has implemented the necessary callbacks.

Same thing here. We could make that mandatory and clean it up after 
migrating amdgpu.

Yeah, that is also a good idea for us. Wrote a one liner, but you might 
want to double check the wording.

OK, changed.

Same thing as before, to migrate amdgpu to the new interface first and 
then make it mandatory.

I think I will just write a cleanup patch into the series which comes 
after the amdgpu changes.

Thanks,
Christian.
