Fedora's F22 kernel is based on 4.0.4 right now. We only have two
minor patches on top of i915 that we carry. One converts a warning to
a debug, the other disables the verbose state checks by default.
Neither patch would impact this functionality. I think Ray's testing
counts, but it's up to upstream I guess.
