Interesting choice, our convention so far has been -EIO for losing state
due to a GPU hang, but an extra flavour for when we wedge the driver?

Hmm, fence->error needs to remain -EIO (differentiating that between
reset/wedge for userspace seems to convey no more information imo), and
we've already baked 
	if (i915_terminally_wedged(&i915->gpu_error))
		return -EIO;
into the abi for the points of interest. 

Sadly too late, I don't think we can pick another errno for the cases it
actually matter.
