I don't have time to do a proper review before Daniel wants to merge
these, and Chris has already reviewed it.

1-6 are:

I don't really like the behavior of 7. At least, I'd like to make it
something that can be disabled via debugfs, sysfs, or module parameter.
(I'd very much prefer it to be opt-in also).  TBH , I only read it very
fast, and I'm not horribly opposed to it, just a bunch of complexity for
IMO little gain. Presumably the problem it's trying to solve should be
fixed with a fix to ddx, mesa, libva, client, whatever.  In the embedded
case, the same thing applies.  Banning the guilty doesn't make the user
experience any better. So the only thing I see is DoS, but we've never
*really* made that our priority anyway, so, meh.
