So what's happening here is that the tests submits 1000 requests, each 
writing a value to an object, and then that object content is checked 
after resume. With GuC it turns out that only 800-900 or so values are 
actually written before we time out, and the test (basic-S3) fails, but 
not on every run.

This is a bit interesting in itself, because I never saw the hang-S3 
test fail, which from what I can tell basically is an identical test but 
with a spinner submitted after the 1000th request. Could be that the 
suspend backup code ends up waiting for something before we end up in 
intel_gt_wait_for_idle, giving more requests time to execute.

You mean we have separate timeouts depending on whether we're using GuC 
or execlists submission?

Ok. yes. I wonder whether we actually should increase this timeout even 
more since now the watchdog times out after 10+ seconds? I guess those 
long-running requests could be executing also at suspend time.
