Description

kind of a meta issue: NICs don't get tested in Propolis CI yet and we've missed bugs because of it.

it might not be unreasonable to have a similar kind of fuzzer like https://github.com/oxidecomputer/propolis/pull/966 that does some series of operations that should at least never get the device to NEEDS_RESET..

Research direction

Start by reading the linked issues 1030, 987, 1019, 1045, and 1052, plus pull requests 1051 and 966, to understand the proposed NIC reboot, migration, lifecycle, fuzzing, and PHD tests. The issue does not identify files or a single entry point; completion would require narrowing these ideas into an agreed test scope and defining what NIC behavior must remain valid.
