It knows the hwsp isn't going to disappear, we know the same here, just
this code was first written in intel_lrc.c

Fwiw, the rcu_read_lock() we have in i915_request_completed() is one of
our worst lockdep hotspots

And not even a suggestion of a function name.

Which is the point, we don't want to have to repeatedly do the same
unlinks when we can do them en masse.

It's still true, just phrasing is hard.

ve->siblings[0] is the old engine, which is holding the completed
requests and their signals. Since their rq->engine == ve->siblings[0]
and we can't update rq->engine as we can't take the required locks, we
need to keep the breadcrumbs relative to ve->siblings[0] and not the new
engine (the i915_request_cancel_breadcrumb conundrum).
