I also noticed that interrupts keeps high in powertop. I bisected it
today:

The bisect stopped between d275f66 and 0f3ee80 so I reverted the
following three commits:

b3b095b drm/i915: enable LVDS on Cougarpoint
d275f66 drm/i915: Clear the LVDS pipe B select bit when moving the LVDS to pipe A.
0f3ee80 drm/i915: Allow LVDS on pipe A on gen4+

Now the powertop only shows about 0.2 interrupts per second. Hope this
information is useful.

Kanru
