Right, we got some other similar reports. I am merging your report with
the other ones. The bug is known upstream as
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14529

I suspect you only get this warning if you didn't hard reboot since the
last crash (it may have left the hardware in a bad state and the driver
didn't recover correctly). Could you try to shutdown the machine for
real, than start it up, and then crash and see if this warning is in the
log?
Make sure you're using intel 2.2.1, I think they cleaned up the driver
startup recently.
