I wrote like this because when reading the source code for 
vk::check_status()[0] and Gallium's si_flush_gfx_cs()[1], I was under 
the impression that UMD checks the reset status before every 
submission/flush.

Is your comment about of how things are currently implemented, or how 
they would ideally work? Either way I can apply your suggestion, I just 
want to make it clear.
