Can you please boot with drm.debug=0xf on both good and bad kernels and
then grab dmesg from each?

To make sure we don't forget this please file the above summary plus dmesg
files as a new bug against dri -> drm(intel) on bugs.freedesktop.org.
Please add "[ilk bisected]" to the bug summary so it shows up in all the
right searches for us.

Thanks, Daniel
