Created attachment 60467
  --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=60467
drm output from 'dmesg' and output of 'xrandr --verbose' to hopefully describe
my setup

Since some time now 1920x1200 output on HDMI port of my nv50 based card shows
two black bands on the left and right side of the screen. It's clipping (i.e.
pieces of the desktop are not drawn), resolution seems to be correct. 

bisecting of the linux kernel got me here:

b2337f2333c0bdefc9b230da17ed7188e4eb7f6c is the first bad commit

And indeed taking out these changes from the current 3.4.0-rc4 kernel seems to
solve my problem.

Seems this enabling of avi/audio infoframes has some bad side effect for my
hardware.
