I don't expect disabling KMS to help overall. The nature of this bug is that it's timing-dependent, so just about any change can affect the stability for better or worse. On an affected system, I would often get a repeatable freeze on bootup after upgrading an unrelated package just because the new disk layout changed the timing of the boot process.

So you might get reports that disabling KMS helps, but I'd expect it to break as many systems as it helps.
