OK, perhaps I should have reported this when it happened, but I thought 
it was the notebook/me/the dog causing it.

I applied the changes from here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel/patch/?id=d472fcc8379c062bd56a3876fc6ef22258f14a91

albeit on different code lines on 3.18.3 and all is hunky dory again 
using driver sna!

Greg, me thinks this should go in next -stable.

Thanks!

Nick
