Xorg Crashes Within Minutes Using The "intel" driver
Steps to Reproduce:
- Use Fedora 32 which proivdes xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-44.20200205. Happens with both Mesa 20.1.0 and 20.0.0 so Mesa version does not seem to matter, nor does X version (1.20.6 and 1.20.7). The rest of the system is Fedora 32. Happens with both Fedora provided 5.6 rc5 kernel and superior 5.6 rc6 Keumjo kernel.
- Start X
- Do anything, or nothing, and have X crash within minutes or, at best, within half an hour
- Get this xorg log:

What did Intel mean by this?
This happens on two different machines with Intel chips (a Pentiun N4200 and a Broadwell i7).
