ilk with rc6 disabled, and the two hangs you've attached both die on
the MI_FLUSH in between a 3D primitive and a 2D blit, like all the
other non-rc6 hangs we've seen thus far that indicate that 3.7
regressed. This A looks _very_ good. I'm adding lists again so that
people are updated and can check whether I've analyzed the
error_states correctly. For reference I've uploaded your dmesg and
error_states at

Yeah, this would be very good information to move forward with this bug.

Thanks a lot for your hard work in helping with reproducing this bug.
