        <pre>Every now and then, the display momentarily blinks to black, and the following
message appears in the log:

[drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler] *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun

Reproduced on Linux 4.2 and 4.3-rc1, on a new Skylake laptop with quad-core i5
6200U. The laptop seems rather beefy so I have trouble believing this is a
general RAM bandwidth issue.

This is using just the internal laptop display, 1920x1080. Sometimes the
problem happens a lot, and sometimes it takes a while. However, I find that I
can't complete a grand prix in SuperTuxKart (about 20 mins gameplay) without
this happening at least once (usually more times).

I can't reproduce on intel-drm-nightly, however SuperTuxKart gameplay is not as
smooth there, every few minutes the display hangs for approximately 1 second,
with no messages in the log.
