The intel driver sometimes glitches but is able to recover.  From a user
point of view this is a non-bug, and we should probably suppress display
of the dialog when this happens.  Possibly the hook could scan for
'drm:i915_report_and_clear_eir.*masking' in the dmesg and skip reporting
in that case.

But, since we're close to release anyway I've just gone ahead and
disabled the hook.  raring users should not receive any further notices
about GPU lockups.  These are the dialogs that prompt, "Did your system
recently lock up and/or require a hard reboot?"

This change was made for raring in xdiagnose 3.4.4.  After updating to
that version, rebooting (or restarting udev), and clearing /var/crash/,
you should not see any further messages about GPU lockups.  (If you do,
something's wrong...)

I suppose these temporary freezes are legitimate issues, but since they
don't seem to affect user experience, they're not priorities at the
distro level.
