Hm I guess I'm just confused and this isn't actually the testcase that was
discussed at length.
I think I was mixing up gem_ctx_isolation with gem_ctx_persistence. The
latter also neeed adjustments for CCS enabling, and that patch seems to
have landed. Except it's not done with a shared helper, so now it's still
as hard as ever to find these tests that validate cross-engine
interactions.

Nah I think it's ok. I guess I was just hoping that someone would review
the entire area a bit and help to structure things more, instead of
piling a bunch of local additions into various tests without much
coordination and calling it a day. It would have been a great opportunity
to clarify what exactly we guarantee wrt context/engine/reset isolation.
I'm not sure where that leaves the patch from Adrian, since tasking Adrian
with reviewing the entirety of igt test coverage around ctx and engines is
probably not what he signed up for and also doesn't make much sense, since
he didn't handle any of the CCS enabling.
I guess we'll just leave the igt testcase dungeons as is and hope they
don't end up eating us?
