I also tested Manhattan with Mesa (no WA) and Kernel (no WA)
and didn't see a GPU hang or any perf drop. The no change in perf
might be due to currently used L3 configuration in Mesa which doesn't
allocate anything to  CS Command buffer section. Mesa now carries
the WA in case we choose to use a different L3 config in future.
