I'm not sure if there is any trace of the original patch left. Certainly
this is the first that has come close to making me happy and looks like
it might actually work. :)

I want to convince myself that storing this here is sensible. My
expectation was that this would be passed along as a function parameter,
so I'll need to go back and see why that doesn't work.

if (has_reset_engine() && is_power_of_2(engine_mask)) {
	engine = dev_priv->engine[ilog2(engine_mask)];

Not worth iterating over the engine_mask?

for_each_bit() {
	if (i915_reset_engine(engine) == 0)
		dev_prv->gpu_error.reset_engine_mask &= ~intel_engine_flag()
if (reset_engine_mask)
	DRM_WARN("per-engine reset failed, promoting to full gpu_reset\n");

Justify an *ERROR*. Is it a catastrophe? Do we have a recovery
mechanism? A DRM_WARN is appropriate as something went wrong at the
hw/driver level, but it should not be the end of the world - unlike the
global reset itself failing.

I am much happier now that we circumvent the big hammer global/display
reset (and so this series now can remain blissfully ignorant of the
display reset regression ;)
