[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Revert i915.semaphore=1 default from 47ae63e0

My Q67 / i7-2600 box has rev09 Sandy Bridge graphics.  It hangs
instantly when GNOME loads and it hangs so hard the reset button
doesn't work.  Setting i915.semaphore=0 fixes it.

Semaphores were disabled in a1656b9090f7008d2941c314f5a64724bea2ae37
in 2.6.38 and were re-enabled by

commit 47ae63e0c2e5fdb582d471dc906eb29be94c732f

    Merge branch 'drm-intel-fixes' into drm-intel-next

    Apply the trivial conflicting regression fixes, but keep GPU semaphores
    enabled.

    Conflicts:
        drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h
        drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_execbuffer.c

(It's worth noting that the offending change is i915_drv.c,
 which is not a conflict.)

This fixes a 2.6.39 regression that affects my Q67 box but not
my SNB laptop.

Send to Linus and airlied because 2.6.39 is apparently about to
be released.
