There's nothing fundamentally wrong with that... The problem is that we
are introducing a second reset path, and so anything that is testing
resets should ideally exercise both. :| That's where I was going with
my comments about this leaving igt in an inconsistent state and that we
should specify which path we want to test when we do the tests.
