Have you tripled checked this by running media stack with bonding? Also
this needs acks from media side, pls Cc Carl&Tony.
I think you should also explain a bit more indetail why exactly the bonded
submit thing is a no-op and what the implications are, since it took me a
while to get that. Plus you missed the entire SUBMIT_FENCE entertainment,
so obviously this isn't very obvious :-)

Please explain the details here, after all this is rather tricky ...

So this just stops the uapi and immediate things. But since I've looked
around in how this works I think it'd be worth it to throw a backend
cleanup task on top. Not the entire thing, but just the most egregious
detail:
One thing the submit fence does, aside from holding up the subsequent
batches until the first one is scheduled, is limit the set of engines to
the right pair - which we know once the engine is selected for the first
batch. That's done with some lockless trickery in the await fence callback
(iirc, would need to double-check) with cmpxchg. If we can delete that in
a follow-up, assuming it's really not pulling in an entire string of
things, I think that would be rather nice clarification on what's possible
or not possible wrt execlist backend scheduling.
I'd like to do this now because unlike all the rcu stuff it's a lot harder
to find it again and realize it's all dead code now. With the rcu/locking
stuff I'm much less worried about leaving complexity behind that we don't
realize isn't needed anymore.
Also we really need to make sure we can get away with this before we
commit to anything I think ...
Code itself looks reasonable, but I'll wait for r-b stamping until the
commit message is more polished.
