Understand the motivation here but the i915_scheduler is going to
disapear when we move to the DRM scheduler or at least its functionality
of priority inheritance will be pushed into the DRM scheduler. I'd be
very careful making any changes here as the priority in the DRM
scheduler is defined as single enum:

/* These are often used as an (initial) index
 * to an array, and as such should start at 0.
 */
enum drm_sched_priority {
        DRM_SCHED_PRIORITY_MIN,
        DRM_SCHED_PRIORITY_NORMAL,
        DRM_SCHED_PRIORITY_HIGH,
        DRM_SCHED_PRIORITY_KERNEL,

        DRM_SCHED_PRIORITY_COUNT,
        DRM_SCHED_PRIORITY_UNSET = -2
};

Adding a field to the i915_sched_attr is fairly easy as we already have
a structure but changing the DRM scheduler might be a tougher sell.
Anyway you can make this work without adding the 'nice' field to
i915_sched_attr? Might be worth exploring so when we move to the DRM
scheduler this feature drops in a little cleaner.
