As suspected a DP screen, and we disconnect right before a modeset
sequence. The unexpected thing here is that the modeset santizer kicks
in and wreaks utter havoc due to a lid event. Now we shouldn't hang
the entire box fundamentally when we unplug the DP cable, and that's a
bug in the DP code. It's also quite some work. But we also should be a
bit less enthusiastic with wreaking havoc in the lid noifier, and I
think that can be fixed quickly.

I'll reply with some patch.
