Well not of the kernel driver, but might very well be a bug in the
userspace driver. With this piglit marks tests that hung the gpu as
dmesg-fail, without this they might even pass. Ken raised this on irc and
I agree that it's a must-have feature for developers that their testsuite
can tell them when stuff broke. Provding this some other way is a lot more
work and imo should be done in a separate patch, this here is just the
minimal fix for this regression.
