It does, hence the suggestion that we make the initial size tunable or
just have the user pass in a hard maximum.  Based on my experiments
with i965, either of those would work well.  I'm not sure what this
looks like for vc4.

We can't.  We use the conflict list two places: We use it at the end
for computing q-values and we use it during setup in
add_transitive_conflict.  It's this last use that we can't get away
from as easily as we'd like.
