Is the machine still alive though? Can you login via the network
for instance?
If it is, then the bug needs to be reassigned to X so that it
can be dealt properly.
The ring buffer is controlled by the X server. The DRM driver
is just a user. The problem here is that the X server left it
in some bozzo state and the DRM driver just used it without checking
resulting in a lockup.
Since the DRM driver does not have complete possession over the
ring buffer, it is not appropriate for it to completely reset it.
