has the i915 "black screen" boot issue returned? [BISECTED]

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i realize i already posted this to the LKML and CCed it here but,
just to summarize, i have a current "git pull" kernel booting fine,
with the following patch applied:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_opregion.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_opregion.c
index 64fd644..28adc6d 100644

        }

        if (mboxes & MBOX_SWSCI) {
                DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER("SWSCI supported\n");
                opregion->swsci = base + OPREGION_SWSCI_OFFSET;


  feel free to suggest more testing.
