Hm, but reset is triggered after the first sleep (which checks for 100% 
busy). So even the non-hanging test flavour could be affect if the delay 
before execution is so long. So by this logic this usleep(100) (or more 
for small core CI) should then go to many tests. Only difference in the 
hang flavour is that if it completely failed to run until after the 
reset, then the idle assert would fail. So maybe I should just add an 
assert that the batch is idle before sampling pmu after reset?
