Ok, but in comment 11 in the same thread you mention that reverting
this patch didn't fix the issue for you:

"Reverting that commit on top of 3.7-rc4 did not fix the hang issue."

Yes, you're right, my bad! Don't know what I was thinking as I wrote that. I
don't have any i5-420M either, but an i5-450M. It was clearly not my
day..

[htd at wildsau ~]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model

model name	 : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU       M 450  @ 2.40GHz

I have now i915.i915_enable_rc6=0 in grub.cfg and disabled the XFCE
compositor. Now I'm trying to hit the bug again...
