Hi,

The following patches are from the PREEMPT_RT queue.  It is mostly about
disabling interrupts/preemption which leads to problems. Unfortunately
DRM_I915_LOW_LEVEL_TRACEPOINTS had to be disabled because it acquires locks
from within trace points. Making the lock a raw_spinlock_t led to higher
latencies during video playback

and I'm not sure if I hit the worse case here.
I tested it on a SandyBridge with built-in i915 by using X, OpenGL and
playing videos without noticing any warnings. However, some code paths
were not entered.
I carry them for some time now and most issues were reported by other
people and they reported that things work for them since.
