Bug Description

When starting a VirtualBox virtual machine using VMSVGA emulation on Ubuntu 17.04 I get a crash. I tracked this down to the Intel code in libdrm and Chris Wilson committed the fix to git as 19c4cfc5. I verified that the crash occurs with libdrm build from git before but not after that commit. Could you please apply this to the Ubuntu package?
