Absolutely, I strongly believe that at the kernel level drivers need to cooperate and be good citizens overall, otherwise we can't guarantee proper operation. Avoiding catastrophes, and if possible detecting the issues, should be good enough. In general I try to get drivers to support userspace with recovery in such cases, depending on how much can be reasonably achieved. I've worked with a system that would disable interrupts (actually preempting the CPU from an execution level higher than the kernel's) for 500ms when a crypto operation was offloaded to the hardware crypto engine.
