[BUG][REGRESSION] mangled display since -rc1

so guys,

I can't believe that nobody hits this: Since -rc1 Nautilus' list of elements or Firefox' website window or just photos in eog (probably among many more things) is mangled. Please have a look at the screenshot of nautilus.

This is the same on a i3 laptop with intel graphics and a i7 with nouvau graphics. I bisected and the problem is this merge:
first bad commit: [56e520c7a0a490b63b042b047ec9659fc08762a4] Merge tag 'iommu-updates-v4.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu

Two things I'd ask of you if this isn't already a known problem to you:

* I failed bisecting into this merge but I could easily have tried it totally wrong, so I'd appreciate any advice on how to bisect into this.
Strangely, running joro's https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu.git/commit/?h=iommu-updates-v4.9&id=13a08259187c5cd3f63d98efa159ab42976d85a4 (referenced here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu.git/tag/?h=iommu-updates-v4.9) is good (?)

* Please add anybody you know is involved to CC.

I'm happy to test patches too, of course.

Anyhow. This is a bad regression that prevents me from running 4.9. Just so you know.

so long,
martin
