Sounds like that's shuffling the set up for no particular gain, and has
potential for getting the freeze depth off from misuse. Control still
has to pass back to the driver to do driver specific tasks to reclaim
IO and set up to fail requests that have entered but not issued prior
to temporarily restarting the hctx's and waiting for frozen.
