The bad news is that I tried to use kdump to capture a crashdump and
hopefully get more information, and kdump utterly wedged on the panic.
The good news is because it wedged the system, I was able to get the
console stackdump before it scrolled off due to a whole series of
recursive oops messages.

It's here:  https://goo.gl/photos/xHjn2Z97JQEw6k2C9

Hopefully tihs is useful.  It's not obvious how to revert this change,
since there were a large number of changes to i915 after this.  If
someone could help me with a revert, I'd be happy to test it.

Thanks,
