+gem/gt TODO items
+-----------------
+
+- For discrete memory manager, merge enough dg1 to be able to refactor it to
+  TTM. Then land pci ids (just in case that turns up an uapi problem). TTM has
+  improved a lot the past 2 years, there's no reason anymore not to use it.
+
+- Come up with a plan what to do with drm/scheduler and how to get there.
+
+- Roll out dma_fence critical section annotations.
+
+- There's a lot of complexity added past few years to make relocations faster.
+  That doesn't make sense given hw and gpu apis moved away from this model years
+  ago:
+  1. Land a modern pre-bound uapi like VM_BIND
+  2. Any complexity added in this area past few years which can't be justified
+  with VM_BIND using userspace should be removed. Looking at amdgpu dma_resv on
+  the bo and vm, plus some lru locks is all that needed. No complex rcu,
+  refcounts, caching, ... on everything.
+  This is the matching task on the vm side compared to ttm/dma_resv on the
+  backing storage side.
+
+- i915_sw_fence seems to be the main structure for the i915-gem dma_fence model.
+  How-to-dma_fence is core and drivers really shouldn't build their own world
+  here, treating everything else as a fixed platform. i915_sw_fence concepts
+  should be moved to dma_fence, drm/scheduler or atomic commit helpers. Or
+  removed if dri-devel consensus is that it's not a good idea. Once that's done
+  maybe even remove it if there's nothing left.
+
+Smaller things:
+- i915_utils.h needs to be moved to the right places.
+
+- dma_fence_work should be in drivers/dma-buf
+
+- i915_mm.c should be moved to the right places. Some of the helpers also look a
+  bit fishy:
+
+  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210301083320.943079-1-hch@lst.de/
+
+- tasklet helpers in i915_tasklet.h also look a bit misplaced and should
+  probably be moved to tasklet headers.
