Conside that we would have intel_engine_loaded_context(engine)
{
        rq = __i915_gem_active_peek(&engine->timeline->last_request);
        if (rq)
           return rq->ctx;

        if (engine->last_retired_context)
                return engine->last_retired_context;

        return NULL;        
}

and then have simple intel_engine_has_kernel_context_loaded()

Also further on the patch series we do switch to kernel context
on init, to grab the hw state. So would it be possible to completely
get rid of notion that !engine->last_retired_context means kernel
context? I would rather assert that we have always last retired
context after init and resume.
