But I need to make sure we enable arbitration at some point. :)
It may not need the w/a name, but I was making very sure we didn't start
a BB without ARB, or context-switch into the middle of a batch without
ARB. That was my thinking, that there was no harm in overkill if we set
it more often than strictly necessary.
