--- Comment #3 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> ---
(In reply to Jan Bramkamp from comment #1)

I tried with enable_rc6 set to 0, 1, and 7.

One other note: When I observed excessive power consumption the "residency
since boot" counters were static in "sysctl hw.dri.0.info.i915_drpc_info"
output. "RC6 residency since boot" was high and unchanging, while the other=
 two
were zero. This is similar to a report in a comment in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D54089

The Linux commit that introduced this regression is
b4ae3f22d238617ca11610b29fde16cf8c0bc6e0, which was in response to
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D50237 .  Disabling the MBCTL=
 write
from that commit, on Sandy Bridge, restores the power consumption to normal.
