I bisected the display update issues to start between 0b0b053a and 
c64f7ba5. fe669bf8 doesn't work at all (black screen after X startup), 
and I didn't try 1b6064d7 yet:

bad:		c64f7ba agp/intel: Remove confusion of stolen entries not stolen memory
not tried:	1b6064d agp/intel: Remove the artificial cap on stolen size
crashes:	fe669bf drm/i915: Compute physical addresses from base of stolen memory
good:		0b0b053 drm/i915/panel: Restore saved value of BLC_PWM_CTL

Another observation I made is that everything is fine while I am using a
dual-screen setup. As dual-screen disables frame buffer compression, I
tried to i915.powersave=0, and indeed, with this parameter I was unable
to reproduce the issues, as well.

Is there anything else I could try? Unfortunately, because of
conflicting changes, it's not easily possible to just revert these
commits from 2.6.38.
