FWIW I think it's wrong to hardcode the requirements of a particular 
hardware generation fixed media pipeline into the uapi. IMO better 
solution was when concept of parallel submission was decoupled from the 
no preemption mid batch preambles. Otherwise might as well call the 
extension I915_CONTEXT_ENGINES_EXT_MEDIA_SPLIT_FRAME_SUBMIT or something.
