Good point, going to fix this when if we really use the patch. Just 
wanted to get opinions on this.

I'm currently working on making some of the resource management in 
amdgpu more friendly to our GPU scheduler.

Waiting for resources in the GPU scheduler is implemented as waiting for 
a fence to fire. So when you want to wait for any resource to become 
available (like in our case the VMIDs) you could make good use of 
something like this.
