This looks like a problem I've seen on some hardware. My workaround has been to use the pm_qos /dev/cpu_dma_latency interface to request a maximum latency of 1ms (value chosen as definitely small enough - a larger value may be better, but I don't care about power saving at runtime on my kit). If it's happening on other kit, perhaps the i915 driver should make a suitable pm_qos request itself.
