 As noted in:
 
   http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2015/08/03/msg041913.html
 
 and subsequent postings, starting X no-longer panics the machine but
 instead causes the X server to crash with Bus Error.  It has been observed
 to work on rare occasions, but it seems pure chance that it does.  When
 it does, it does so repeatably but following a reboot it will once again
 crash with Bus Error.
 
 I noticed some recent commits to i915drm and related items.  I am in
 the process of updating and building and will post the results soon.
