However, as we set it from the virtual engine for all siblings, but only one physical engine may respond, we leave the hint set on the others stopping direct submission that could take place. If we do not set the hint, we may attempt direct submission even if we don't expect to submit. If we set the hint, we may not do any submission until the tasklet is run (and sometimes we may park the engine before that has had a chance). Ergo there's only a minor ill-effect on mixed virtual/physical engine workloads where we may try and fail to do direct submission more often than required. (Pure virtual / engine workloads will have redundant tasklet execution suppressed as normal.)
