Yeah this is a recent bug so this workaround is new.  More rigorous tests revealed this is probably a miss on the FW side.  We explicitly requested UNMAP_QUEUES unconditionally invalidate watch controls during the beginning of design to prevent any watch point racing.

Note GFX11 MES calls are different on the surface but under the hood it's the same (registers get invalidated on unmap then get updated on map.  Only difference it's at the queue level).

I'm fine with this solution but I think it'd be good to describe this as a workaround somewhere (as opposed to a driver issue) so that folks aren't scratching their heads later on looking at code for GFX11 and up and wondering why we don't nuke the control setting with the KFD for those devices.

Thanks,

Jon
