Hi Syzmon, any updates on the compute UMD merge request here?  Is there
a different merge request we should reference for now that just uses the
I915_ENGINE_CLASS_COMPUTE without also relying on the
DRM_I915_QUERY_DISTANCE_INFO that we aren't upstreaming just yet?

I believe distance info is only useful for multi-tile platforms and
isn't necessary for general use of compute engines on a single tile
platform.

Thanks.
