No, I'm sorry to report that the 358466cb1596bb001f8050ea84fdbbd9bfdd69c1 does not really help. After using the patched i915 module "normally" I tortured it with three glxgears and youtube in HD mode. This hangs it within a few minutes.

Doing the same test with 3.10.0-997-generic from kernel-ppa also hangs in a few minutes, but recovers. So this test kernel makes the problem only a _minor_ nuisance_ rather than a _MAJOR_ inconvenience requiring a window system restart at best and a reboot at worst.
