I think you need to rework your thinking here a bit as this a very
execlists specific solution and the GuC needs to be considered.

schedulable doesn't hook into the backend at all, while
intel_context_ban does. In the case of GuC submission intel_context_ban
changes to preemption timeout to 1 us and disables scheduling resulting
in the context getting kicked off the hardware immediately. You likely
need to update intel_context_clear_schedulable to use the same vfunc as
intel_context_ban() but accept an argument for the value of the
preemption timeout. For a ban user a lower value, for clearing
schedulable use a higher value.

Likely want a define for '1' and '20' too.
