We'd want to release the VCPI slots before they are acquired in
->compute_config(). intel_modeset_checks() will be too late to release
them. Are you suggesting both acquiring and releasing slots should be
done in intel_modeset_checks()?

The idea was to reduce boilerplate in the drivers and use the
private_obj state for different object types.
