I just got a used Thinkpad X201 (Core i5 M 520, Intel QM57
chipset) and hit some kernel panics while trying to view
image/animation-intensive stuff in Firefox (X11) unless I use
"iommu_intel=igfx_off".
With Debian stable backport kernels, "linux-image-4.17.0-0.bpo.3-amd64"
(4.17.17-1~bpo9+1) has no problems. But "linux-image-4.18.0-0.bpo.3-amd64"
(4.18.20-2~bpo9+1) gives a blank screen before I can login via agetty
and run startx.
Building 4.19.12 myself got me into X11 and able to start
Firefox to panic the kernel. I also updated to the latest BIOS
(1.40), but it's an EOL laptop (but it's still the most powerful
laptop I use). I intend to replace the BIOS with Coreboot soon...
Initially, I thought I was hitting another GPU hang from 4.18+:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107945
But building drm-tip @ commit 28bb1fc015cedadf3b099b8bd0bb27609849f362
("drm-tip: 2018y-12m-25d-08h-12m-37s UTC integration manifest")
I was still able to reproduce the panic unless I use iommu_intel=igfx_off
"i915.reset=1" did not help matters, either.
Below is what I got from netconsole while on drm-tip:
Kernel panic - not syncing: DMAR hardware is malfunctioning
Shutting down cpus with NMI

Thanks. I barely use graphics and certainly not with KVM;
so I don't think I'll be missing anything igfx_off. But
maybe this bugreport can help other X201 users.
