The offending upstream commit appears to be:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/virgin/linux.git/commit/?id=dc9fb09cae5b1355c1a9d8102e40b97b34332f31

I still need to test this with mpv, and there's been some new mainline &
intel-drm-nightly kernels released since by last attempt.

Title:
  Broadwell vaapi video decode broken by i915_bpo migration

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Vivid:
  Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Wily:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since upgrading from linux-image-3.19.0-28-generic to linux-
  image-3.19.0-30-generic, vaapi-accelerated video playback on Kodi 15.2
  (and 15.1) is now all black.

  On-screen display items (eg. elapsed time) and audio still work, but
  the decoded video content is now all black. Disabling vaapi
  acceleration in the Kodi options restores the video playback.

  I have bisected the problem to this commit:
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-
  vivid.git/commit/?id=059c4a45e7a0233ab06b16f591a7877d11f6d79c

  The problem still happens in Ubuntu-3.19.0-31.36, as well as
  Ubuntu-4.0.0-1.2 and Ubuntu-4.2.0-16.19 from the ubuntu-wily repo.

  It appears that the above commit flicks the switch on many changes,
  and doesn't really shed too much light on what the actual problem
  might be.

  I've tried moving that commit earlier into the history in the hope
  that I might be able to find a 'good' point to bisect from, but had no
  luck. The furthest I was able to push it back was
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-
  vivid.git/commit/?id=59b6d9aaa4c379d84930598183cb4911a2713ff4, but the
  problem remained.
