So, it sound, fundamentally you've got this graph of operations across
an unknown set of drivers and the kernel cannot insert itself in
dma_fence hand offs to re-validate any of the buffers involved?
Buffers which by definition cannot be touched by the hardware yet.

That really is a pretty horrible place to end up..

Pinning really is right answer for this kind of work flow. I think
converting pinning to notifers should not be done unless notifier
invalidation is relatively bounded. 

I know people like notifiers because they give a bit nicer performance
in some happy cases, but this cripples all the bad cases..

If pinning doesn't work for some reason maybe we should address that?

I think the documenting is really important: only GPU should be using
this stuff and driving notifiers this way. Complete NO for any
totally-not-a-GPU things in drivers/accel for sure.
