Exactly, doing any of those will disable the new uAPI entirely if it 
wasn't yet initialized. I will add some documentation for this.

kernel_managed / kmd_managed both sounds fine to me. I'm good with 
either one.

What will this be used for? I guess it would not be important to be 
executed in order with "regular" (non-noop) jobs? Because the only thing 
this would tell you is that e.g. for VM_BIND all previous binds 
completed, which is what we have syncobjs for.
