Right. I think what we call ctx here is very confusing, as it's just the
fence.context (i.e timeline id) and not any of the ids we assign to the
context (neither hw_id or uabi_id), so I don't think ctx refers to
i915_gem_context/intel_context at all and so would rather stop using
'ctx'.
Pardon the rambling,
