And disables DRI for the system, interferring with the use of OpenGL
compositors, playing games, PRIME, etc. This effect is not limited to
users of i915, but any system with a dGPU and an igfx enabled Core CPU.

I still think we are downplaying the complete and utter disaster caused
by X and the patch, and why the revert is required.
