No, this is the general scheduling mode for all of amdkfd.
The runlist that we feed to the GPU contains queues from all HSA processes. 
Furthermore, the number of hardware queues is a total number of the GPU. 
Therefore, there is no option to operate in different modes (and I see no point 
in that).

Also, I see I forgot to write in the commit msg that the third option (without 
CP Scheduling) is only for debug purposes and bringup of new H/W. As such, it is 
_not_ guaranteed to work at all times on all H/W versions.
Added this is v3.

Fixed in v3.
