Yes I know. Earlier patches in the series extract new core functions
to setup/tear down such events and send them out, which is what's
needed to make this trick possible. Exynos similarly uses events
similarly, and is also converted. Same for nouveau it seems, but there
the code doesn't use the reserve/send split, so I'm unclear
how/whether at all it correctly handles this race.
