Just a note that i915drmkms won't apply workarounds to any generation

The drm driver appears to be missing some gen 7 devices - like the one
in my laptop so you may get a probe failure with that.

Ooh. Haven't come across that before. I also get exactly the same ring heartbeat issue on my system and looking at the latest linux DRM code the gen7/gen6 workround code is pretty tiny and trivial to backport.

I've just popped it into my local tree and I'm giving it a try :)

Here's hoping.
