I can put together a test case we use with a media runtime workload
for an EU that we could add to igt.  Also this appears to be something
that has been also encountered on BDW during an Android kernel team
port that from what I can tell was patched locally (internally) and
not shared upstream.  I stumbled upon it only after getting Chris'
help with this patch.
