Make b->signaled_requests a lockless-list so that we can manipulate it
outside of the b->irq_lock.

Uncoditional llist_del_all? It's not likely list will be empty and if it 
is llist_del_all will return NULL.

Why !signal check in here? Couldn't figure out what changed to make this 
needed.

Okay it creates a bit of a differently ordered list like this but I 
think it doesn't matter.

Transition is only from signal_link to signal_node, which uses and 
initializes only one field, so I think potential garbage in other ones 
is safe.

Nah, this is likely to be empty, since this will only be filled after we
resubmit an already completed request. So the conditional is cheaper
than the locked xchg.

Because we invoke signal_irq_work() after adding to
b->signaled_requests, I thought it was sensible to attempt keep the
interrupt shadow in place until after the following interrupt.
[Sadly we need to avoid the frequent enable/disable of the interrupts,
they are expensive enough to perform that it shows up in throughput
measurement. The question has become our _user_ interrupts now cheap
enough to always enable? The problem with snb dying under an interrupt
storm has been fixed, afaict we no longer burn through an entire core
handling interrupts when the GPU is busy.]

Right. We change the order in which we signal, but I reasoned that we
are already signaling in a loose order as dma_fence_signal() is called
from many, many different paths without a care to timeline order.

Signaling the most recent first may improve latency in some cases, and
since the latency will be smaller for the most recent request that will
be a relatively large improvement vs the increase in latency for
handling the older request after the most recent. This is pure
speculation, I haven't measured the effect.

Yup, the signal_link was used to being garbage after signaling :)
