Hi Chirs:
Could you elaborate your idea here? :) As we have to know the status
change of the LRC context, not only the request to copy the content back to
guest (There will be a small window between a request is finished and the
context is switched out). We tried i915_wait_request() before, looks not
help... And it seems only CSB change will show the context is really idle.

Nope. Please hook into the lower-frequency idle mechanism then.
