So at that point GuC also guarantees that it's not left in the hw engine?
Execlist has this barrier request to fully unload the ctx from the hw, and
that's also why I cam on the topic of OA.

I think it's OA that I'm thinking of here: We have code in i915_perf.c to
patch all the ctx currently in the system, so that they have a consistent
OA config. That's also relying on this barrier stuff, and I was wondering
how that will work with GuC.
