Description
As we've seen in https://github.com/Traverse-Research/gpu-allocator/pull/262 ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED can also be raised out of resource creation functions (on Dx12) which gpu-allocator calls. We have some custom logic to run on specifically those errors, but gpu-allocator currently only returns them back in opaque Internal(String) variant leading to ugly string-compares, when we'd rather match on a stable DeviceRemoved variant that is mapped from ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked pull request #262 and tracing how gpu-allocator handles ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED from Dx12 resource creation functions. Identify where errors currently become the opaque Internal(String) variant, then verify that this condition is exposed as a stable DeviceRemoved variant that callers can match without string comparisons.
