Yes. It has been a nuisance in the past, which is why we try to avoid
it. I have come to conclusion that it serves no purpose for execlists
and only makes recovery worse.

Ah, but we do stop the engine before resets in *reset_prepare. The other
path to arrive is in sanitize where we don't know enough state to safely
tweak the engines. For those, I claim it shouldn't matter as the engines
should be idle and we only need the reset to clear stale context state.
