re: kern/49431: External HDMI does not detect plugging

[matthew green <mrg%eterna.com.au@localhost>]

i had seen this problem a couple of months ago, and finally tried testing
again to see what happens.

things are significantly worse now :-(

it still fails to detect hdmi when plugged in after boot, that problem
as originally reported remains.  however, if i have hdmi plugged in at
boot time, my laptop appears to crash or hang when the X server starts
(it's not clear to me yet.)  the laptop keyboard appears to have no
response, and i have to hold the power button down.

this is a sandy bridge i3 laptop, intel device ID of 0x0106 for the GPU.
