It doesn't "break" it, amdgpu just needs to be fixed.

I know we put in a Fixes tag in 
b70438004a14f4 "drm/amdgpu: move buffer funcs setting up a level"
pointing to 56e449603f0ac5 "drm/sched: Convert the GPU scheduler to variable number of run-queues",
but given the testing Phillip has done, the culprit is wholly contained in
the amdgpu driver code.

No other driver has this problem since commit 56e449603f0ac5.

The Fixes tag in b70438004a14f4 "drm/amdgpu: move buffer funcs setting up a level" should've ideally
pointed to an amdgpu-driver code commit only (perhaps an old-old commit), and I was a bit uncomfortable
putting in a Fixes tag which pointed to drm code, but we did it so that the amdgpu commit follows
the changes in DRM. In retrospect, the Fixes tag should've pointed to and amdgpu-driver commit when
that the amdgpu code was originally written.

I remember that the problem was really that amdgpu called drm_sched_entity_init(),
in amdgpu_ttm_set_buffer_funcs_status() without actually having initialized the scheduler
used therein. For instance, the code before commit b70438004a14f4, looked like this:

void amdgpu_ttm_set_buffer_funcs_status(struct amdgpu_device *adev, bool enable)
{
	struct ttm_resource_manager *man = ttm_manager_type(&adev->mman.bdev, TTM_PL_VRAM);
	uint64_t size;
	int r;

	if (!adev->mman.initialized || amdgpu_in_reset(adev) ||
	    adev->mman.buffer_funcs_enabled == enable)
		return;

	if (enable) {
		struct amdgpu_ring *ring;
		struct drm_gpu_scheduler *sched;

		ring = adev->mman.buffer_funcs_ring;
		sched = &ring->sched;                             <-- LT: No one has initialized this scheduler
		r = drm_sched_entity_init(&adev->mman.entity,     <-- Oopses, now that sched->sched_rq is not a static array
					  DRM_SCHED_PRIORITY_KERNEL, &sched,
					  1, NULL);
		if (r) {
			DRM_ERROR("Failed setting up TTM BO move entity (%d)\n",
				  r);
			return;
		}


Before commit 56e449603f0ac5, amdgpu was getting away with this, because the sched->sched_rq
was a static array.

Ideally, amdgpu code would be fixed.
