An issue encountered with switching mm on gen7 is that the GPU likes to hang (with the VS unit busy) when told to force restore the current context. We can simply workaround this by substituting the MI_FORCE_RESTORE flag with a round-trip through the kernel_context, forcing the context to be saved and restored; thereby reloading the PP_DIR registers and updating the modified page directory!
