Hm, if this is really a regression between 3.13 and 3.14-rc1 then I
don't see any quick candidates - relevant functions in intel-gtt.c
seem unchanged.

So probably a bisect is what we need here. Note that this could also
be due to resource handling changes in the driver/pci core, so you
can't restrict the bisect really. But before going down this route it
would be worth to check out the resource allocations of both kernels.
Can you please attach /proc/iomem for both 3.13 and 3.14-rc1

Adding more mailing lists.
