I know Alan takes reports through bugzilla.kernel.org, and I know Intel
gives good advice about what information to include in such a report.
Beyond that, all bets are off.  I certainly don't think the instructions
are inappropriate, unless there is some way they cause harm that I
missed.

Are you in contact with the upstream i915 team?  Perhaps a pointer on
that page to another page describing how to handle psb bugs would
avoid confusion.

Luckily the bug isn't reproducible in 3.8.y, so that particular question
is moot.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
