I've applied the first 2 patches as-is and squashed the later 2 workaround patches together, with some bikeshedding applied (mostly to cite the bspec in the commit message, cite the comment that introduced the regression and also mentioned that this restores hsw stability). Thanks for tracking this down and writing the patches.
