If a bisect isn't possible for you the kernel command line should be pretty
helpful to isolate which area the problem is introduced.
I'd say start out with "nomodeset" on the kernel command line to prevent
i915 from loading.  If that fixes it, hopefully it's a small number of commits
to peel back like the one Linus mentioned.

For thinkpad_acpi you can try modprobe.blacklist=thinkpad_acpi.
