Jaswinder can you also upload the /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state
following a freeze as well, please. If your /sys/kernel/debug is empty,
you will need to "mount -tdebugfs debug /sys/kernel/debug".

What is in the tree is adequate for the time being. It will capture the
batch buffer into the error state. My follow-on patch only increases the
level of paranoia. Thanks for testing.
