gm45 and rendering ring init failures. We've seen this occasionally
crop up due to rather unrelated changes. Some even hit stable
backports and had to be backed out again. We essentially have no clue
what's amiss, but it seems to /mostly/ work. Thus far I've only hear
reports of this for gm45 and not yet really for upstream. Until
someone digs up more evidence I think we need to classify this as a
rare heisenbug and not really a regression :(

One thing we could try is to simply repeat the ring init setup, maybe
after a gpu reset or something like that.
