While trying to track down the power regression, I noticed that on my SNB I had more severe problems, ie. forcewake seemed to never happen once i915 was loaded. After a bit of bisection, I tracked the bad commit to: commit 7b0cfee1a24efdfe0235bac62e53f686fe8a8e24 Merge: 9756fe3 6b16351 Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter at ffwll.ch> Date: Mon Jun 25 19:06:12 2012 +0200 Merge tag 'v3.5-rc4' into drm-intel-next-queued I changed the macro to the inline statement to debug a little better and noticed that the problem went away. It's a bit embarrassing, but I can't figure out what is wrong with the old macro. In any case, I think this warrants further review.
