Description David Cowperthwaite 2015-11-11 18:31:56 UTC 
On 4.2 kernel there's a failure in intel_uncore.c but the kernel load progresses and the VM boots, DRI / Mesa / MSDK all work.

On kernels prior to this, (4.1 and earlier were tested) the VM stops @ the point where drm reports that it is "Replacing the VGA console driver" and no crash is output.

This output is from a HSW Corei7 with Iris Pro graphics (Gigabyte Brix Pro).
The Host OS is Centos7.1 with KVM installed and the patch to reject passthrough of devices with RMRR tables (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/3/580) reversed.

The Virtual Machine is also Centos7.1, the goal is to have Intel Media SDK (requires 3.10 kernel + MSDK specific patchset) working in a VM on KVM on HSW & BDW (later SKL).  Host PCI device 0:2.0 (IGD) is mapped through to the VM.

Call Trace form the 4.2 kernel (which did eventually work)

Let me get this straight. Your use case works in v4.2 and later, but fails in v4.1 and earlier. Are you filing this bug with hopes of figuring out what the fix was in v4.2, and having that backported to older kernels?
