Subject: Skylake graphics regression: projector failure with 4.8-rc3

We seem to have an xrandr regression with skylake now.  What's
happening is that I can get output on to a projector, but the system is
losing video when I change the xrandr sessions (like going from a -
-above b to a --same-as b).  The main screen goes blank, which is
basically a reboot situation.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the
logs out of systemd to see if there was a dump to dmesg (the system was
definitely responding).

I fell back to 4.6.2 which worked perfectly, so this is definitely some
sort of regression.  I'll be able to debug more fully when I get back
home from the Linux Security Summit.
