A patch was submitted to intel-gfx yesterday: "[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2] drm/i915: Set the Stencil Cache eviction policy to non-LRA mode.". I have tested this patch on top of the precise kernel 3.2.0-24-generic. Googleearth no longer freezes when zooming in.
The patch is currently on it's way to Linus and stable.
