I've run v2 of this patch (on top of v4.8.8) for over a day now without
hitting the WARN_ON_ONCE. Of course, my machine was suspended for large parts
of that period. But still, the WARN_ON_ONCE used to be triggered much quicker.
So in short: you can drop "(v1)" as I tested both versions now.

By the way, the scary i915 *ERROR*s are gone now too, as are the visual
glitches that accompanied those *ERROR*s. Apparently the v4.8.y series picked
up a few fixes. Those made i915 a much better experience. Nice!

(I seem to remember discussing the reasons why a v4.6 bug was first noticed on
v4.8. I haven't looked into that yet. By now it's unlikely I ever will. Sorry
about that.)
