So it appears that I have encountered some bogosity when trying to call
i915_error_printf() with many arguments from print_error_buffers(). The
symptom is that the vsnprintf parser tries to interpret an integer arg
as a character string, the resulting OOPS indicating stack corruption.
Replacing the single call with its 13 format specifiers and arguments
with multiple calls to i915_error_printf() worked fine. This patch goes
one step further and introduced i915_error_puts() to pass the strings
simply.
It may not fix the root cause, but it does prevent my box from dying and
I think helps make print_error_buffers() more friendly.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
