<pre>It was marked as a security issue and was back-ported by most/all
distributions. I think you can assume this will be in all future kernels, it
would be a brave distribution that reverted a CVE. I hope they are just as fast
with the eventual fix.
I hate the power impact; I like to feel ok with 6 hours away from power since
that happens to me a few times a week. Disabling it is a one line hack to
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv, e.g.
diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h
