With the one fix inline, take your pick:

Reported-and-tested-by: Ben Widawsky <ben at bwidawsk.net>
Reviewed-by: Ben Widawsky <ben at bwidawsk.net>

I find it very strange that i915 is unique here. It makes me feel like
we're doin' in wrong. BTW, a cleaned up version of the macro version I
sent you might meet with less resistance given that no other driver
needs it [currently].

Also, looking at this code now, we could probably replace a bunch of
mutex_lock()'s in i915 with mutex_lock_wrapper(..., TASK_KILLABLE, ...)
