Indeed, the commit you've bisected too accidentally removed this
check. I'll submit a patch.So I guess you've explicitly set
drm_kms_helper.poll=0. Can you please elaborate what you're working
around with this option? Any such case is a bug.

Also, can you please test latest 3.9-rc kernels (without your patch,
i.e. a broken configuration)? It contains some rework to make hpd
detection less intrusive for normal desktop activity and should also
greatly help for your case here.

Thanks, Daniel
