drm/i915 cat-herder here - I have no idea what's going on :( Things
seem to work on 3.5, I haven't gotten any regression reports for gm45
on 3.5 (and these boxes are rather popular). And all the people who
reported issues with this patch on 3.4 had no such problems on 3.5
(with the same patch applied).

And I've looked again at the patches in that area and don't see what
could be missing. Hence I guess we should just revert this patch from
3.4.

Thanks, Daniel
