The writing is on the wall for the existence of a single execution queue along each engine, and as a consequence we will not be able to track dependencies along the HW queue itself, i.e. we will not be able to use HW semaphores on gen7 as they use a global set of registers (and unlike gen8+ we can not effectively target memory to keep per-context seqno and dependencies). On the positive side, when we implement request reordering for gen7 we also can not presume a simple execution queue and would also require removing the current semaphore generation code. So this bring us another step closer to request reordering for ringbuffer submission! The negative side is that using interrupts to drive inter-engine synchronisation is much slower (4us -> 15us to do a nop on each of the 3 engines on ivb). This is much better than it was at the time of introducing the HW semaphores and equally important userspace weaned itself off intermixing dependent BLT/RENDER operations (the prime culprit was glyph rendering in UXA). So while we regress the microbenchmarks, it should not impact the user.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
