We don't handle resetting the kernel context very well, or presumably any
context executing its breadcrumb commands in the ring as opposed to the
batchbuffer and flush. If we trigger a device reset twice in quick
succession while the kernel context is executing, we may end up skipping
the breadcrumb. This is really only a problem for the selftest as
normally there is a large interlude between resets (hangcheck), or we
focus on resetting just one engine and so avoid repeatedly resetting
innocents.
Something to try would be a preempt-to-idle to quiesce the engine before
reset, so that innocent contexts would be spared the reset.
