I think even with detach, we wouldn't end up with the context-bank
that the gpu firmware was hard-coded to expect, and so it would
overwrite the incorrect page table address register.  (I could be
mis-remembering that, Jordan spent more time looking at that.  But it
was something along those lines.)
