Isn't testing the status like this is a potential race condition. Having to do this at all is contrary to the documentation that I've read. Writing a doorbell should wake up the GFX engine. Are we sure that we understand the cause of the problem correctly? Does the IB test use any MMIO? Maybe it's doing an HDP flush using MMIO for a ring that doesn't support HDP flushing.
