A bit an aside, but drm/sched has a pretty solid story around resets,
including what to do if your reset domain escalates (probably more useful
for the execlist backend than GuC) and how it's all synchronized.

I do need to review the barriers for when you permanently wedge an engine,
and the support for that isn't well encapsulated nor documented. But it's
there (amdgpu uses that when the reset fails, kinda like we do), and
that's about the only gap I've found thus far around drm/sched reset
support.

So should all be substantially clarified once we get there.
