That's a good idea.

Yeah, would be nice to get hooks in place soon to avoid rebase
adventures later. I guess that would involve shipping a stub drm_lease.h
for now?

Oh, all of the implicit resource access from the legacy ioctls. Yeah,
that will take a bit of research to identify all of them.

I'd like to avoid that particular dependency as amdgpu is something of a
requirement for this particular project...

I'll get started fixing the lease checking stuff to try and centralize it.
