Dave, hopefully this completes the regression fixes for .38. There is
still some doubt over eDP, with 011b9910bdaf failing for Jim Gettys but

some
users.
FWIW:
The failure is not so common for me as to claim the change should not go
in; and my work around is to suspend/resume the system again.
It's mostly niggling discomfort that there is still something about eDP
we still don't understand...
The remaining question, of course, is whether the other fixes in the
final release will continue the fine year long tradition of completely
breaking my laptop in Linus' releases yet again ;-).
Well, Chris' tree with the last set of patches works about the same as
Linus' rc7; still exhibits the flashing bug, but suspending again can
get it to go away. So maybe we can avoid the completely broken Linus
release this time (knock on wooden head); certainly we're well beyond
the previous state where installation required serious gymnastics.

I've taken the conservative approach and disabled GPU semaphores by
default since that prevents one cause of hangs, even though I think it is
fixed by the earlier patch to prevent the FIFO overflow. The other patch
addresses a bug introduced by the combination of relaxed fencing and
fence
pipelining infrastructure where to forgot to teardown a bound buffer
if it
invalidated its new alignment constraints. Hopefully this will fix the
reported corruption for gen2/3 devices, though there is the
possibility of
further underlying bugs.
