Normally, we rely on our hangcheck to prevent persistent batches from
hogging the GPU. However, if the user disables hangcheck, this mechanism
breaks down. Despite our insistence that this is unsafe, the users are
equally insistent that they want to use endless batches and will disable
the hangcheck mechanism. We are looking are perhaps replacing hangcheck
with a softer mechanism, that sends a pulse down the engine to check if
it is well. We can use the same preemptive pulse to flush an active
persistent context off the GPU upon context close, preventing resources
being lost and unkillable requests remaining on the GPU, after process
termination.
XXX Fixup banned contexts on schedule-out, so that we don't jump back
into the middle of an infinite loop on resume.
XXX This does need a preempt-to-idle style of pulse, I need to set a
flag on the request to prevent queuing into the second port, so that we
have a context-out evebt where we can patch up the context image.

Same sort of caveats as for hangcheck, a few corner cases need
struct_mutex and some preallocation.
