lib/dummyload: Pad with a few nops so that we do not completely hog the system
Part of the attraction of using a recursive batch is that it is hard on the system (executing the "function" call is apparently quite expensive). However, the GPU may hog the entire system for a few minutes, preventing even NMI. Quite why this is so is unclear, but presumably it relates to the PM_INTRMSK workaround on gen6/gen7. If we give the system a break by having the GPU execute a few nops between function calls, that appears enough to keep SNB out of trouble.
