Ok, I'm a little happier that the hangcheck could be just another symptom
of the problem...

I think it is safe to assume that the bug is in i915, so restricting the
bisect to just drm seems plausible:

git bisect start drivers/gpu/drm
git bisect good 2.6.36-rc1
git bisect bad 2.6.36-rc2

And yes, it does apppear that the false detection rate for TV has changed.
The suspicion is that the change to intel_wait_for_vblank() is actually
causing issues here.
