Why can't we just move this down to nouveau driver code?

I really hate adding random stuff to drm core that other drivers can't opt
out of - all the dri1 nightmares are made of these essentially. And radeon
and i915 seem to be able to reset without adding anything to drm core.

So why can't nouveau do the same? Also, if this is indeed necessary and we
add this as some mandatory core infrastructure, it's not good enough: In
i915 we go to great lengths to ensure that all processes waiting for gpu
reset are still interruptible, in case the gpu reset dies unexpectedly
(which happens), so this would need to be improved.
