If i915.modeset=0 doesn't restore the display then something is extremely
fishy. Do you see any console output before the i915.ko is loaded?

The issue appears to be that no outputs are being detected. I presume that
you have instead a VGA connected to the box and that the regression is in
fact e7dbb2f2. If I'm guessing rightly:
