I have 3 machines that I can hang in under 10 minutes.
They are different types of baytrail: n3540, j1900, z3775.

With this revert applied, all  three machines have
the same stress test for over 7 days without failure.

I disagree with an action plan that includes the word "wait".

Indeed, my question is if we can turn off GFX p-states entirely
on this hardware.  Is there a command line parameter I can
use to do that?  If we have one, it will certainly make
troubleshooting orders of magnitude easier.

Note that the bisected patch

     drm/i915: Agressive downclocking on Baytrail

was applied to Linux 3.17-rc1.
Thus, this revert should be applied to every stable release back to 3.17.

thanks,
