Uhm...
Linux GPU drivers have had support for hang detection and reset for _years_.

hehe.
It seems that the biggest problem with all of this is that when the driver crashes it puts the hardware into a bad state were recovery is just not going to happen.
That is why I suppose people don't notice that hang detection and reset exists.
