Looks a bit too complicated on first glance. In general we should 
probably get away from handling a hive in any special way.

Multiple timeout jobs in a hive are identical to multiple timeout jobs 
on different engines on a single device.

How about the following handling:
1. Add the timeout job to a list.
2. Try to grab a lock to handle the reset, if that doesn't work because 
there is already a reset underway return immediately.
3. Stop all schedulers on all affected devices including stopping the 
timeouts and detaching all callbacks.
4. Double check the list of timed out jobs, if all hw fences of all jobs 
are completed now we actually don't need to do anything.
5. Do the reset on all affected devices.
6. Drop the lock.
7. Add callbacks again and restart the schedulers.

Christian.
