Can't do that yet because holding struct_mutex prevents objects from disappearing, speficially all our mm and lru lists only hold a weak reference. We need to rework our shrinkers first and switch over to gem_object_free_unlocked before we can disengage from struct_mutex in i915.

Done. Just a few years of backlog still to go... -Chris
