Why would EU stall want to use functions from lib/xe/xe_oa.c, which is a
library specific to OA. Why don't you just copy these functions into
tests/intel/xe_eu_stall.c stall, rename them and use them?

The functions are in the library for OA because of use by other OA/perf
tools, they are not meant for use by EU stall.

So this is a NAK on this patch.
