 I've been attending to more-urgent non-kernel problems.

 In fact, i2c-viapro is not contributory, and drm may have nothing
to do with it - the problem seems to happen with any kernel > 2.6.24,
but not always.

 So, to be clear, 2.6.24.4 with the drm patch reverted, and
2.6.25-rc1, and 2.6.25-rc7 ALL intermittently fail.  I'll start
bisecting.  Actually, I suppose I'd better try 2.6.24 itself a few
more times, so that I have a little more confidence it was 'good'
for this (fortunately, no other users on that box).  Apologies for
attributing possible blame to i2c.
