iirc, I remember correctly we do a fs-walk over sysfs and cat each file,
so yeah we should be covered if we add a GEM_WARN_ON.

hex with no leading 0x just to confuse :)

Indeed.

Yeah, it's definitely more than a mere notice that the driver is
misbehaving as we want to use it as a control interface. If the sysadmin
cannot setup the system as they require it, we expect their users to
complain later on.

The problem I saw with engine->flags is that are mostly internal
details; the public parts become caps.scheduler. That seemed reasonable
to add, but where? cardN/scheduler (same level as cardN/engine)? But
there's a large overlap between that and the per-engine controls. So
cardN/engine/scheduler? Then the user has to remember that not all
entries are engines.

I suppose cardN/engine/all/ would fit the pattern of some other sysfs
interfaces [cardN/engine/all/scheduler/caps?] Only problem then is you
would reasonably expect to have some global controls :)

Along that path we end up with bcs0/available_flags and bcs0/flags (or
bcs0/available_capabilities and bcs0/capabilities). Or
cardN/engine/version?
