Marking this as High.  It means that any user with a previously supported graphics card can now not use unity.
It can't be worked around, and is demonstrated as a regression between 3.16.0-6 and 3.16.0-7.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High

Title:
  compiz fails with intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Recent upgrade and reboot/re-login left me with a generally unusable compiz/unity.
  On login, the desktop icons move back and forth several times, I believe this correlates with ~/.xesssion-errors 'unity main process ended' messages like:
  upstart: unity7 main process (7477) terminated with status 1
  upstart: unity7 main process ended, respawning
  upstart: unity7 main process (7910) terminated with status 1
  upstart: unity7 main process ended, respawning
  upstart: unity7 main process (7939) terminated with status 1

  
  Further investigation showed that compiz was failing to start.  Attempting to start it by hand shows:
    intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument

  Those same messages appear in ~/.cache/upstart/unity7.log.
