Adding a bunch more people from drivers using the drm/scheduler (so
that's maintainers for etnaviv, lima, panfrost, and v3d on top of
amdgpu folks arlready on cc). Any takes or testing on this and well
the entire series very much appreciated, there's also another patch to
anotate the tdr work in this series. Plus ofc the prep work.

Thanks, Daniel
