Comment # 165 on bug 79980 from Marti Raudsepp

After upgrading to kernel 3.17.1, these GPU hangs/crashes still occur, but now
it doesn't hang the whole machine any more. Sometimes it recovers from the GPU
hang completely, sometimes it just drops me into a text console. Thanks, that's
an improvement.

I am using Radeon R9 270 on Arch Linux.
