Yes (though bisection doesn't work right on this one): the fix
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
seems to have got lost in the system: it has not even appeared in
linux-next yet. I was going to send a reminder later this weekend.

Here it is again (but edited to replace "__aligned(4)" in the original
by the official "__i915_sw_fence_call" I discovered afterwards; and
ignoring recent discussions of where __attributes ought to appear :-)

[PATCH] drm/i915: fix blank screen booting crashes

5.15-rc1 crashes with blank screen when booting up on two ThinkPads
using i915.  Bisections converge convincingly, but arrive at different
and suprising "culprits", none of them the actual culprit.

netconsole (with init_netconsole() hacked to call i915_init() when
logging has started, instead of by module_init()) tells the story:

kernel BUG at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_sw_fence.c:245!
with RSI: ffffffff814d408b pointing to sw_fence_dummy_notify().
I've been building with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y, and that
function needs to be 4-byte aligned.
