Hello,

I built -rc7 the other day, and when I attempt to boot, I get a kernel panic
 which seems related to the i915 driver.

[ hand copied, this is a log from 3.5-rc7, with timing information
removed ]

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009

panic occured, switching back to text console
[ hand copy ends here]

My .config is attached (as I'm not sure which parts of it are strictly
relevant, so I'll err on the side of too much), the machine is an
Intel i5-2520 in a Lenovo x220 with Intel Integrated graphics (2nd 
Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller rev 09 
according to lspci).

I have bisected the issue to commit 0136db586c028f71e7cc21cc183064ff0d5919c8,
"drm/i915: rc6 in sysfs" , which is certainly older than 3.5-rc7.

My apologies for the chatter if this is a known issue already.

Please CC me on replies (I am not subscribed to the ML).
