[ 22.234054] [drm] HPD interrupt storm detected on connector DP-1: switching from hotplug detection to polling
I forgot to mention in the original report the cpu/gpu involved is an Intel i7-4770K (haswell). Some of the older bugs already filed appear to be Sany Bridge based cpus, so this looks to be a problem with multiple generations of the cpu/gpu.
In case it makes a difference the 'active adapater' is a StarTech.com DP2HDS. http://www.startech.com/AV/Displayport-Converters/DisplayPort-to-HDMI-Active-Video-and-Audio-Adapter-Converter-DP-to-HDMI-1920x1200~DP2HDS
The monitor involved is a LG IPS234V-N.
