These interrupt numbers do not match; I'd guess that you rebooted and
that the drivers were initialized in a different order.

Anyway, it looks as if the i915 driver is the culprit.

A quick look into the DRM code shows that it uses dev->devname as
interrupt name, but that field might get freed by drm_setversion().
(Or I might be wrong; I don't have this hardware.)
