Hi, Ernest.
At least in GentooLinux, I did not have the problem with Broadwell in kernel
4.18 and prior versions since 4.14.x.
The machine is a Dell Inspiron 5540 laptop with Intel integrated graphics and a
discrete AMD Topaz GPU. To get both providers working with PRIME, I had to have
a conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.d/ declaring DRI "3" for the Intel xf86 video
driver.
The hang up problem with the Intel GPU has appeared for me since the 4.19.1
linux kernel.
Now, I can get "gdm" working without any specific xorg driver conf file in
/etc/X11/xorg.d/ and the workaround "intel_iommu=igfx_off". I can use both
graphic cards with PRIME although the "modesetting" xf86 video driver doesn't
yet work and I have to keep the old Intel xf86 video driver.
This behaviour with previous kernels makes me suspect that the iommu breakage
in 4.19rc1-3 you mention has something to do with the problem in Broadwell (at
least in my laptop).
