Consider that we may modprobe i915 with i915.enable_execlists=1 then unload it, then modprobe i915.enable_execlists=0, according to bspec, changing execlist mode to ringbuffer mode, a hardware reset is needed?

Sounds credible that execlist -> execbuffer requires a reset. That reset
should be called in execlist shutdown and documented appropriately.
