btw have you tried this out with some of the igts we have? core_hotunplug
is the one I'm thinking of. Might be worth to extend this for amdgpu
specific stuff (like run some batches on it while hotunplugging).

Since there's so many corner cases we need to test here (shared dma-buf,
shared dma_fence) I think it would make sense to have a shared testcase
across drivers. Only specific thing would be some hooks to keep the gpu
busy in some fashion while we yank the driver. But just to get it started
you can throw in entirely amdgpu specific subtests and just share some of
the test code.
