Symptoms:
Attaching a displayport (even in console, with no Xorg loaded) causes 100% CPU
usage in kworker, making system extremely unresponsive.

I'm going to try to get additional logs, but my dmesg is pretty uninteresting.
I'll attached the vbios as well. Going to try booting with more debug info.
Right now system is too slow (because of this bug) to add the attachments.
It also happens with the intel driver, but I haven't been able to trace that
one as well. I don't think the cause of the problem is nouveau specific for
that reason, but the kworker that is constantly showing up is definitely part
of the nouveau code:

IBM Thinkpad with dell display port.
Possibly others
