The GPU may be in an unknown state following resume and module load. The previous occupant may have left contexts loaded, or other dangerous state, which can cause an immediate GPU hang for us. The only save course of action is to reset the GPU prior to using it - similarly to how we reset the GPU prior to unload (before a second user may be affected by our leftover state). We need to reset the GPU very early in our load/resume sequence so that any stale HW pointers are revoked prior to any resource allocations we make (that may conflict). A reset should only be a couple of milliseconds on a slow device, a cost we should easily be able to absorb into our initialisation times.
