Those should all be put in the engine setup. And yes we got this wrong a
few times, where a gpu reset broke of fixed mesa (depending upon which way
round the w/a vs reset defaults was).

Maybe we need a "how to apply w/a writes and where" doc page somewhere
that we use to whack every wa patch with in review? This comes up for
every platform a few times ...
