Could you open a new bug at (and attach relevant information there):

https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/how-report-bugs

Most confusing about this is that 4.17 would have worked to begin with,
without intel_iommu=igfx_off (unless it was the default for older
kernel?)

Did you maybe update other parts of the system while updating the
kernel?

If you could attach full boot dmesg from working and non-working kernel +
have config file of both kernel's in Bugzilla. That'd be a good start!
