That's another reason not to have this patch in the kernel ;)

I don't know about Fedora, but Ubuntu's bug reporter got a lot better
with 11.10 betas.
The other day it detected i915 GPU hang, collected all files and
successfully reported the bug!

The only catch - it did not properly capure the i915_error_state (all
zeros), which in fairness, might not be the tool's fault.
That and it might need to be made a little more subtle / less annoying.
