Fully agree we shouldn't make eb3 code more complicated because of eb2.
My question was more of using i915_execbuffer3 and its functions as a
"base class" and subclass it for eb2, eb2 adding and implementing
additional functionality it needs.

But OTOH I just learned we've might have been asked not to share any
code between those two from drm maintainers, so need to dig up that
discussion.
