i915, framebuffer: wrong xoffset?

[Lucas De Marchi]

Since 3.0-rc1 when booting my computer the text in the fb console is
displayed with a wrong xoffset. I took a picture (sorry for the poor
quality):

It appears that there's a negative xoffset applied when booting the
computer. After starting X and returning to console everything is back
to normal, though.

I started  to bisect this, but there are too many iterations missing:

$ git bisect log

It says "multi-head: yes", but there's no other monitor connected whatsoever.




Any ideas what could be happening?
