Subject: possible circular locking dependency on i915 dma

Current Linus's tree has the following lockdep information.
I've bisected it, but there are several unbisectable commits
between "good" and "bad".
And my machine is too slow to continue bisect.
But by this unfinished git-bisect, I've known the latest good
is "0191b625ca5a46206d2fb862bb08f36f2fcb3b31"
and the most early bad is "5f34fe1cfc1bdd8b4711bbe37421fba4ed0d1ed4"

dmesg is bellow and .config is attached.

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.28-default #147
-------------------------------------------------------
X/4226 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<c01659f3>] might_fault+0x32/0x6d

but task is already holding lock:
 (&dev->struct_mutex){--..}, at: [<eeb19e32>] i915_cmdbuffer+0xfb/0x441 [i915]

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
