For those running Ubuntu, here is a build of a kernel based on 3.17.1
with the patches Chris Willson wants you to test:

- Those patches have other regressions (so be careful to only test your
specific issue).

Title:
  [snb] GPU lockup  IPEHR: 0x0b160001 IPEHR: 0x0b140001, workaround
  i915.semaphores=0

Status in X.org xf86-video-intel:
  In Progress
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “sandybridge-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  X locks up periodically for a 2 to ten seconds at a time and this
  crash log gets generated. It's significantly more than several times a
  day but not quite continuous. If you indeed have this bug, that should
  stop the lockups from happening. Irrespective, please file a new bug
  report so your hardware may be tracked.

  WORKAROUND: Edit your /etc/default/grub from:
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

  to:
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.semaphores=0"

  run the following and reboot:
  sudo update-grub

  The side effects of this is rendering throughput is dropped by 10%
  with SNA, or as much as 3x with UXA. OpenGL performance is likely to
  be reduced by about 30%. More CPU time is spent waiting for the GPU
  with rc6 disabled, so increased power consumption.
