On the trivial level, please wrap your commit messages to standard 75

Can it be zero?

Having glanced over the discussion about the workaround you are trying 
to implement a few times, this is what I think.

First of all I think you are definitely missing the engine resume side 
of things. Consider this entry point:

execlists_submission_tasklet
  execlists_reset
   intel_engine_reset
    __intel_engine_reset_bh

AFAICT you can halt more than one engine but you will not resume them 
all. What I mean here is that __intel_engine_reset, intel_engine_resume, 
reset_finish_engine and even the engine pm management end up being 
called for only one engine. Also absence of locking via 
I915_RESET_ENGINE in gt reset flags.

Secondly, the question on whether it is acceptable to corrupt the state 
for the other engine seems not to have a 100% clear answer. Can this be 
confirmed? Because in the ideal world you would really need to preempt 
to idle the other engines from the engine group and only then would be 
able to proceed.

If that is considered a problem for later, with the first step being 
adding of a simpler workaround to prevent a more serious lockup, then it 
may be acceptable with some tweaks.

I suspect there isn't a proper IGT for this otherwise you would have 
noticed the failure to resume the coupled engines? So I think next step 
is to write that IGT and then make sure code is robust.

Sufficient testing will probably drive the implementation.

You may for instance need to lock all engines for reset starting from 
execlists_reset() and you may end up uncovering locking/ordering 
challenges as you go.
