+Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Disable verbose state checks
+
+For stable releases, we disable the verbose state checks in the i915 driver.
+They are mostly for development purposes and they fill the retrace server
+to the point of uselessness.  We leave these enabled in rawhide kernels,
+where they are both more likely to get attention from upstream and more
+likely to be fixable.
+
