Fine. It helps detect cases where we try to load uninitialised contexts,
but other than that I have not noticed any difference.

trying to keep the set of changes small, and targetted towards removing
that ctx->obj dereference.

Sure, but I think you've squashed that bug already. :)

Ok, let's go with a second patch to converge the fake context with the
hw context later.
