Re: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: reserve GDS resources statically

["Christian König" <ckoenig.leichtzumerken-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Well as long as we don't need to save any content it should be trivial 
to implement resource management with the existing code.

I will take a look why allocating GDS BOs fail at the moment, if it is 
something trivial we could still fix it.
