I've opened #131403: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131403

[Unichrome DRM]

I guess that's the "user can write and maybe read anywhere in system
RAM" problem.  Personally I don't care if the user at the console can
crash the system (since they could just pull the power) but I can see
why it's being kept out of the kernel.  Any suggestions on how I can
help test?  I'm on the xorg list but I don't think that's deep enough
into it.

I'd hope a $115 Intel D865GLC board would have reasonable output, but
I have a $40 MSI board with a ProSavage chipset that looks better.  I
think everyone just ships crap these days.  Maybe I'll have better
luck with one of the Radeon IGP chipset boards.
