Have to drop that, with the recent context changes.

You have to move the gpu-reset now for execlists.

Basically pull it out into:

static void i915_unload_gem(struct drm_device *dev)
{
       /*
        * Neither the BIOS, ourselves or any other kernel
        * expects the system to be in execlists mode on startup,
        * so we need to reset the GPU back to legacy mode. And the only
        * known way to disable logical contexts is through a GPU reset.
        *
        * So in order to leave the system in a known default configration,
        * always reset the GPU upon unload. This also cleans up the GEM
        * state tracking, flushing off the requests and leaving the system
        * idle.
        *
        * Note that is of the upmost importance that the GPU is idle and
        * all stray writes are flushed *before* we dismantle the backing
        * storage for the pinned objects.
        */
       i915_reset(dev);

       mutex_lock(&dev->struct_mutex);
       i915_gem_context_fini(dev);
       i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer(dev);
       mutex_unlock(&dev->struct_mutex);
}

and then kill the intel_gpu_reset along both the cleanup pathsh
