This was kind of a difficult bug to track down. If you're using a Haswell system running GNOME and you have fbc completely enabled and working, playing videos can result in video artifacts. Steps to reproduce:
- Run GNOME - Ensure FBC is enabled and active - Download a movie, I used the ogg version of Big Buck Bunny for this - Run `gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location='some_movie.ogg' ! decodebin ! glimagesink` in a terminal - Watch for about over a minute, you'll see small horizontal lines go down the screen.
For the time being, disable FBC for Haswell by default.

If you "dmesg | grep -i underrun", do you see anything (even if it doesn't happen during the moments of corruption)?
Does the problem still happen if you apply these patches? - https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/79567/ - https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/80857/ - https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/92634/
For the time being, disable FBC for Haswell by default.
In case we want to improve the commit message:
We also got reports from Steven Honeyman on openbox+roxterm, and from Stefan Richter.
Anyway, there's a regression that needs to be fixed, so:

We can always try again later.

Perhaps also worth mentioning in the changelog: Stefan Richter reported kernel freezes (no video artifacts) when fbc is on. (E3-1245 v3 with HD P4600; openbox and some KDE and LXDE applications, thread begins at https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/26/813)
