I don't think the context does hang.

I've made the page-request code artificially fail and report that it
was an invalid page fault. The gem_svm_fault test seems to complete
(albeit complaining that the test failed). Whereas if I just don't
service the page-request at all, *then* the GPU hang is detected.

I haven't actually looked at precisely what *is* happening.
