Tried 2.7.1 - it might have fixed the issue with the 965Q but my laptop 
still segfaults immediately.

stacktrace is:

Haven't had a chance to try it with DRM support in the kernel yet.

Also does patch-ba actually do anything?  Seems to me its adding a line 
that is identical to the immediately preceeding line.
