Difference is that we want the hwsp for use in this function?
if (i915_timeline_is_global(timeline))
return;
hwsp = i915_timeline_hwsp(timeline);
I suppose has the feeling of being more descriptive and the compiler
should be smart enough to dtrt.

Hey! I rewrote this because I thought it was tidier without the else and
repeated i915_vma_get() :)

BUILD_BUG_ON is cpp-ish, so it needs to provably constant, so in the same
translation unit.

Right. No char stack[elsz] for us. Alternatively is to make this into a
macro-builder and have a custom shuffle for every type. For selftesting,
just not worth it. (Until we have an example were we are severely
limited in our testing by how long it takes to shuffle numbers... But we
can probably just change any test to shuffle less.)

Radix tree because that's where I started with the test: I want to
detect duplicate cachelines.

The history is kept over the different phases. We add a block, remove a
smaller block; repeat. My thinking was that would create a more
interesting freelist pattern.

We keep history from one iteration to the next. I think if we added a loop
here (____mock_hwsp_timeline!) you would be happier overall.

Do you feel like we need more or less? I think that's a reasonable
number, it means we should have some pages eventually on the freelist.
And not so many that reuse is sporadic (although the allocator is geared
towards keeping the same page for reuse until full).
