When using some Intel integrated graphic cards on Qubes R4.0, screen
glitches may manifest after switching VTs or entering suspend mode.

A known workaround does exist for this bug, which is to add a
configuration file with the following contents within
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d:

> Section "Device"
>   Identifier "Intel Graphics"
>   Driver "modesetting"
>   Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
>   Option "DRI" "3"
> EndSection

However, the X11 modesetting driver version in Fedora 25 has its own
drawbacks:

* It freezes briefly when re-configuring monitors (e.g. plugging in an
  external monitor or changing screen resolution)
* XRandR keystone support is buggy

To remediate this, I've patched the Linux i915 driver and it has been
working fine for months.  Only the patch for Linux 4.19 has been tested.

If anyone is affected by the issue, please feel free to test the
follow-up patches and give some feedback here.
