I spent a bit of time looking at this, but I still do not fully
understand the cause of the hang. It appears to hang initialisation of
the FB subdev and it appears to be around the point where the L2 cache
is flushed. I will see if anyone else has a clue what is happening here.

Ben, in the meantime with the holiday season upon us, should we remove
the bar1 teardown for gk20a?
