I liked the proposal made by Anthony. Seems like all we are trying to do in this request is somehow "suppress" the calls/features which are resulting in this "GPU hung" situation. But what we are missing here is doing the suppression is impacting the user experience (as mentioned in Comment #230 - Jean is finding the youtube videos "jerky" after installing the patch)

Shall we start thinking in rolling back to the i810 driver? Can someone explain me why we are not doing that?

Thanks!
