The i915_vma_put() is i915_gem_object_put().

I know, I am in for a reckoning when I have to fix all the allocations
for i915_vma.kref being independent of the object.

One and the same :)

To bind the vma, mostly. Yes that is now hidden away by
i915_vma_move_to_active(), but we established the pattern to always add
the waits even if we expect them to be no-ops -- because it's a hard
task to find a missing one later.

For what? We acquire the wakeref via the request on the engine.

We don't talk to intel_runtime_pm directly, everything we should be
doing is engine specific, which knows which gt and the power management
for that.
