AMDGPU Driver Looking To Re-Enable Performance-Boosting "Bulk Moves" Functionality

On top of current 'amd-staging-drm-next' (sadly it's still on 5.2.0-rc1 'cause Alex was on travel) I see good results for 'vkmark' (radv) and 'glmark2'.
-
Just for the reference, I don't see any change for example in The Witcher 3 in Wine+dxvk when bulk moves are enabled.

Shaved off almost 6 MB from my previous kernel that used LZ4! Startup speed was identical to LZ4 as well, great call.
(fyi my kernel is a little large because I build in amdgpu which adds about 3.5 MB but kernel picks it up faster)
module:
$ dmesg|grep amdgpu
[ 2.671170] [drm] amdgpu kernel modesetting enabled.
built-in:
$ dmesg|grep amdgpu
[ 0.424964] [drm] amdgpu kernel modesetting enabled.
I don't know for _certain_ if it's any better as opposed to a module, but figured why not. If anyone knows for sure, feel free to chime in.

And here I was waiting on Mesa 19.3 to finish before I stared compiling 5.2.14 and I find this thread so you know what patch I just added to it

But I gotta tell you, all of these things lately have had a synergistic effect. I'm talking Valve's ACO + Mesa 19.2 + fsync patches + Proton 4.11/DXVK + FreeSync/FreeSync LFC patches + 5.3 kernel, and now this bulk move patch. All my games are running great. Linux gaming is peaking right now, specifically on AMD cards.
