drm/i915: Delay semaphore submission until the start of the signaler Currently we submit the semaphore busywait as soon as the signaler is submitted to HW. However, we may submit the signaler as the tail of a batch of requests, and even not as the first context in the HW list, i.e. the busywait may start spinning far in advance of the signaler even starting. If we wait until the request before the signaler is completed before submitting the busywait, we prevent the busywait from starting too early, if the signaler is not first in submission port. To handle the case where the signaler is at the start of the second (or later) submission port, we will need to delay the execution callback until we know the context is promoted to port0. A challenge for later.
