Dear maintainers,
On an Asus Zenbook UX32VD laptop with an i5-3317U CPU and Intel HD4000
graphics, I'm experiencing the following with the latest 3.19rc6
mainline kernel (built from the Arch Linux AUR package:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-mainline/ ). The problem is
related to the compton compositor: https://github.com/chjj/compton
Booting to X goes very normally. Then, I start compton with the command
`compton --backend glx`. As soon as I do that, the dmesg log starts
getting filled with these warnings. This is a snippet from my journalctl
log:

I get about 4-5 of them per second as long as compton is running.
Starting compton with `--backend xrender` doesn't cause any warnings.
I'm using the SNA AccelMethod (the default), but switching to UXA or
Glamor didn't seem to have any effect. I haven't set any i915 specific
kernel flags.
I don't see this on the current stable 3.18.5 kernel. The first time I
saw this was on 3.19rc3 when I tried it due to another bug in the 3.18
series. I haven't gone through all the 3.19 release candidates, but the
behaviour with 3.19rc6 seems identical to what I saw with 3.19rc3.
