Bug Description

The "i915.disable_power_well=0" kernel boot parameter is our work-around for incorrect HDMI audio playback speed when on battery power (the HDMI "chipmunk" audio problem).

This issue is resolved in the 3.16 kernel (what will be in 14.10 and 14.04.2).

So when we start the 14.10 driver series, we'll drop the disable_power_well action from the driver.

Likewise when Ubuntu 14.04.2 is released, we *could* drop this action from the 14.04 driver series as well. Although as some people might stay on the original 3.13 kernel, perhaps we should just keep this in the 14.04 branch of the driver.
