To elaborate a bit, I fired this up on HSW ULT w/ eDP, IVB w/ HDMI, and
855GM w/ LVDS. I think I also tried HSW and IVB with a another HDMI
monitor plugged in, and the 855GM w/ VGA plugged in.

As added insurance I enabled the reg_rw tracepoint and traced all the
register access we do when loading the driver (w/ fbcon enabled to get
some modesets in the trace). I compared traces between patched and
unpatched kernels and tried to see if there were any significant
differences. Couldn't spot anything apart from a few small differences
in the order of register accesses due parallel activity.
