Well, the problem is that the developers at Intel are no longer giving much priority attention to 8xx chips, for various reasons. Thankfully, the code is open, so users aren't completely screwed, but that means that it's needed for community members to step up and investigate bugs with these chips.
What that means in practice is that help is needed from owners of these chips to dig into the source code of the -intel driver and work on identifying the source of the problem, and to suggest code changes that you find resolves the issue on your hardware.
