I think we may end up doing the reset unconditionally in
i915_driver_unload() because this argument holds for almost everything
we setup. It's a bigger risk because of doing the gpu-reset on more
machines, but module-unloading is a "developer feature"!

The only issue is making sure that the reset is ordered appropriately.
