Well I found out why, I compiled i915 into the kernel it seems, at least
I don´t have an i915 module in lsmod. But also i915.i915_enable_rc6=7 on
kernel command line does not seem to have any effect. I removed the
option.

Since using SNA I didn´t see a GPU hang so far. Too early to say for
sure, but it seems something in UXA may have triggered it more easily.
