Thanks for continuing to bash on this, but I'm afraid I'm still having
issues.

I saw a bunch of stack traces like the one below, alternating between
ring_put and ring_get, before the GPU was declared wedged.

This is with mesa-7.11rc4, xf86-video-intel-2.15.0 and a Linux kernel
3.0.0-00175-g07b7ddd (head of keithp's drm-intel-next).

I'll attach the i915_error_state to bug #38567.
