We should consider if it makes sense to blacklist KMS for this chipset.

Jerry has indicated that by booting his system with i915.modeset=0 that
it worked around the issue.  I would like to see several more people
confirming that it did similarly for them.  Please test this.

If there seems to be a consensus favoring blacklisting KMS, then we'll
reassign this bug to the kernel and have andy blacklist for us.

If anyone finds that their i845 system works *worse* with KMS turned off
for some reason, please shout; I wouldn't expect turning KMS to cause
regressions so this would be a surprise, but with i8xx weirder things
have been known to happen!
