Hi,

I experience a weird behaviour after upgrading to Kernel 4.9 and
trying to switch TTYs. My machine instantly freezes, after some
seconds (about 5 to 10) everything works again, then it freezes
again... and so on.

I'm not sure whether this is a kernel issue or X-Server, but as no TTY 
login prompt pops up I guess it must be a kernel issue.

Here is what I have found out via `journalctl`:

Information about my system:

    * Thinkpad X220
    * Linux yuu 4.9.0 #1-NixOS SMP Sun Dec 11 19:17:54 UTC 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    NixOS version information (if you need this at all):

    * System: 17.03pre97792.c311871 (Gorilla)
    * Nix version: nix-env (Nix) 1.11.4
    * Nixpkgs version: "17.03pre97792.c311871"

Feel free to ask for more information if you need it - but please tell
me how to get it, too!

The issue was also reported here:

    https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/21497

I'm not sure which "intel related mailinglist" I should post this to,
so if someone could tell me that'd be great.

I did _not_ verify that this issue is new for me because of the
upgrade to Linux kernel 4.9 or whether it is also present in 4.8
kernels!
