@Chris -- will get that information too next time round...
It has also been suggested that the patch below might be pertinent (from
drm-intel). Can you tell if we might have a split command from the GPU
dumps?

drm/i915: Pad ringbuffer with NOOPs before wrapping
According to the docs, the ringbuffer is not allowed to wrap in the middle
of an instruction.
G45 PRM, Vol 1b, p101:
While the “free space” wrap may allow commands to be wrapped around the
end of the Ring Buffer, the wrap should only occur between commands.
Padding (with NOP) may be required to follow this restriction.
Do as commanded.
[Having seen bug reports where there is evidence of split commands, but
apparently the GPU has continued on merrily before a bizarre and untimely
death, this may or may not fix a few random hangs.]
