i915 General Protection Fault - Kernel 5.5.2 - Irrecoverable System Hang

I lived through kernel 5.4 with drm-tip. Now back on regular kernel and not sure if this problem in 5.5.2 is related as well but it seems to have i915 fingerprints all over it, system hang only for first time in a few weeks today, doing nothing unusual:

It's almost as if a fixes pull request for v5.5 went missing. dinf has a number of patches that were due for v5.5 that are not in v5.5.

Wanted to chime in and say I am also experiencing this issue, and at least 2 times a day. I have an OpenGL window open (some fluidtk thing) every time it has crashed, as well as kitty term (which is GPU accelerated). Please let me know if I can provide further information.
