Regressions on Stretch with modesetting driver for Intel graphics

On 3.0~beta1 we switched Intel graphics from the intel X.Org driver to the modesetting one, following Debian’s lead. I’ve heard about crashes (ThinkPad X201). https://bugs.debian.org/837451 says that reverting to the intel driver fixes such crashes. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98742 says that the real fix is in the kernel, but meanwhile I think we should put the intel driver back.
