Can you file a bug against the release notes instead? It should
contain something along the lines "if you experience problems
with Intel graphics hardware you can try disabling KMS by adding
'nomodeset' to the kernel parameters and adding 'Driver
"intellegacy"' to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf".

I can't use KMS either due to two other bugs and probably a lot
of people using Intel hardware will run into bugs/regressions
which might be worked around by disabling KMS and/or using the
2.9.1 driver.
