Bug Description

i915_bdw driver module in the trusty kernel is currently based on v3.14+backports, but it has turned out to be insufficient on real systems causing system freezes and/or GPU hangs with certain workloads. Some issues have been worked around but they trigger other bugs, and backporting bisected fixes dind't fix them on this branch.

Rebasing the driver to the latest tag from i915 upstream that doesn't include changes to core drm, plus additional fixes, should provide a better driver for the initial broadwell enablement.

rebasing to v3.15 would need too many backports to core drm so that plan was scrapped, use the last i915 tag for v3.15 that doesn't pull core drm work

summary: - Rebase Broadwell graphics support to v3.15

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
