Hm, feels like jumping ahead here, I think there's too much still
in-flight:
- Christian is pondering some improved ww_mutex lock/unlock helpers.
  That'll probably change a lot of this code too.
- If we do more helpers, then I think we should have a consistent story
  across everything. These here don't really fit into the existing gem
  lock/unlock helpers.
- We probably want to design something coherent to replace all the ttm
  execbuf utils, i.e. bo lookup, locking, updating reservation objects,
  all that.
- I think this needs more than one driver to proof itself.

Maybe long-term we could have a drm_gem_eu_helper.c or so which contains
all that. But that's still some ways off.

I'd go back to the virtio-only conversion, and once we have more of this
stuff settled, we can look at how to properly design some nice&consistent
helpers.

Cheers, Daniel
