  the git bisection finally resolved to:

  BAD:  b705120e
  GOOD: 8a327f23

so the culprit appears to be:

b705120e4198315f4ae043de06c62f65e0851fd3 is the first bad commit
commit b705120e4198315f4ae043de06c62f65e0851fd3

    drm/i915: Use consistent mappings for OpRegion between ACPI and i915

    The opregion is a shared memory region between ACPI and the graphics
    driver. As the ACPI mapping has been changed to cachable in commit
    6d5bbf00d251cc73223a71422d69e069dc2e0b8d, mapping the intel opregion
    non-cachable now fails. As no bus-master hardware is involved in the
    opregion, cachable map should do no harm.

    Tested on a Fujitsu Lifebook P8010.
