Reminds me, Gordon can you add module unload testing to your set of
basic daily tests?  To unload you need to unbind the fbcon interface
first, my script is like this:

echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind
rmmod i915
rmmod drm_kms_helper
rmmod drm
modprobe i915
echo 1 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind

If unload and re-load doesn't work please file a bug and see if you can
bisect it.

Thanks,
