5.15-rc1 crashes with blank screen when booting up on two ThinkPads
using i915. Bisections converge convincingly, but arrive at different
and suprising "culprits", none of them the actual culprit.
netconsole (with init_netconsole() hacked to call i915_init() when
logging has started, instead of by module_init()) tells the story:
kernel BUG at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_sw_fence.c:245!
with RSI: ffffffff814d408b pointing to sw_fence_dummy_notify().
I've been building with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y, and that
function needs to be 4-byte aligned.
Fixes: 62eaf0ae217d ("drm/i915/guc: Support request cancellation")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
