This looks ugly. Can you try to reproduce on 3.4-rc2? That should
contain everything that -next currently contains drm/i915-wise. If it
still happens there, please bisect it.

Also please check whether any of the subordinate interrupt regs
(pipestat) is stuck and might cause these interrupts as Jesse
suggested.

Thanks, Daniel
