[Intel-gfx] GPU Hang in Intel Driver

[Dihan Wickremasuriya]

mesa 8.0.4-r1, libdrm 2.4.43 and xf86-video-intel 2.21.5 on top of kernel
3.8.5 seems to work well.  No hangs or crashes so far.  Thank you very much
for your help with this!

Would you also happen to know where I can get a patch of the i915 kernel
fix that has been backported to version 3.2?

Best regards,
Dihan
