This is perhaps a point of contention. drm/i915 has completely switched
to fdo bugzilla, and we close any kernel.org bugs on sight with
instructions to file the bug at fdo. IMHO all of drm would benefit from
switching over to fdo bugzilla (or gitlab issues going forward).

The i915 page needs an overhaul. But you could also use something like:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=DRI&component=DRM/Intel

I think that's fine.

Also, I have nothing against merging the patch at hand as-is, and
updating the rest later.
