Hmm, what CI won't say until it gets around to running on the shards
(i.e. post merge) is that the !contexts tests are expected to pass on
the older gen. This patch will now fail in gem_context_create().

I was only half jokingly suggesting reopen_device().

As CI is only running each subtest individually, I don't think we are
exposed to the issue, that should give us a bit of time to hopefully fix
it. So back to the perplexing puzzle.
