Is "this flag" the VRAM_LOST? Or any flag?
Does this mean that not all resets are fatal to the context? Is there
any kind of reset that should not be fatal to a context? All the
rendering APIs seem to assume that any reset is fatal and the context
must be destroyed.

Ok, so the dmabuf lost is being communicated here, but how would a
userspace process know on which device a dmabuf resides on?
Let's assume process A uses device 1 to draw, exports a dmabuf, sends
it to process B which imports it to device 2. Device 1 resets and loses
VRAM contents. How would process B notice that the dmabuf is lost when
it never touches device 1 itself?
