I guess you're already letting the compositor run at a higher gpu priority
so that your deadline'd drm_sched_job isn't stuck behind the app rendering
the next frame?

I'm not sure whether you wire that one up as part of the conversion to
drm/sched. Without that I think we might need to ponder how we can do a
prio-boost for these, e.g. within a scheduling class we pick the jobs with
the nearest deadline first, before we pick others.
