Did something break IRQ handling somewhere? I need to validate if this happens with X not running also if it is i915 related somehow. The behavor is noticed in a console login however.

Please try to disable the intel_pstate driver by putting intel_pstate=disable
into the kernel's command line and see if that helps (you may also try to
compile the driver out).

Thanks,
Rafael
