[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Also perform gpu reset under execlist mode.

[Zhi Wang]

Hi Chris:
     Thanks for the reply! I just dig the code. It looks there is no 
special code path for execlist shutdown. It has init_rings(), but 
doesn't have cleanup_rings(), only clean_ring(), which are called for 
each ring one by one when i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer() gets called.

Do you have any advice? :)

Thanks,
Zhi.

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?
