I think I have:

        drm_i915_gem_request.active_list
        i915_gem_active.link

There's still a drm_i915_gem_request.client_list to be fixed up, but I
can do that when I show off a scary patch to do lock-free client tracking.

I've read LWN today, my brian is mush. But at least I learnt about the
term lock-free locking.
