I actually tried to introduce rather large delays between individual 
I915_WRITE() calls in the ring initialization sequence a couple weeks ago 
already, but it resulted in complete machine lockup (which is worse than 
my usual symptoms) during resume. Therefore I probably lack the knowledge 
of internal workings of the HW that would allow me to guess what the 
reasonable timeout value should be.

Willing to test any patches.
