Hi,

have you looked at intel-gpu-tools, available from
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/intel-gpu-tools/ ?

It includes tools to decode specific registers (such as INSTDONE) and
describe what the various bits mean (have a look at lib/instdone.c).

There's also a tool to decode an error dump, which is a commonly used
means of tracking down a GPU hang.

Hope this helps,
.Dave.
