Hi all,

We're having some good fun with the i915 mmu notifier (it deadlocks), and
I think it'd be very useful to have a bunch more runtime debug checks to
catch screw-ups.

I'm also working on some lockdep improvements in gpu code (better
annotations and stuff like that). Together with this series here this
seems to catch a lot of bugs pretty much instantly, which previously took
hours/days of CI workloads to reproduce. Plus now you get nice backtraces
and the kernel keeps working, whereas without this it's real deadlocks
with piles of stuck processes (the deadlock needed at least 3 processes,
but generally it took more to close the loop, plus everyone piling in on
top).

If this looks like a good idea I'm happy to polish it for merging.

Thanks, Daniel
