Nope. Like the previous issue it only happens when I run-time enable
kernel modesetting (with # modprobe i915 modeset=1), which is not the
default.

I'm gonna open a new bz entry with all the details (and all the people on cc
minus regression handlers). But first I'll check with CONFIG_LOCKDEP
whether it's really a locking goof-up.
