Hmm. And this looks even simpler than I thought, or I am totally confused.
Thomas, could you please review this series too?

Chunming, Alex, I _think_ that drm/amdgpu should not use kthread_park(), but
lets discuss this separately. It would be nice if you can confirm that 2/2
can't break this code, even if I think "it obviously can't".

Oleg.
