Yes exactly.

Unfortunately it's not that easy. See for example some engines keep 
updating statistics (how many bytes written, samples encoded etc...) 
even when the engines is stuck in an endless loop.

Well that is certainly something you could try, e.g. wait for empty with 
a timeout and if that times out triggers do a GPU reset and wait again.

Alternative would be to see if we could disable system memory access 
from the device all together with the PCIe config regs if we can't get 
it idle again.

Christian.
