Yes, that's the kernel side part. But in userland,
we are NOT using xorg-x11-drv-intel for intel gen4 and up
(if I understand
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xorg-x11-server/blob/HEAD/f/06_use-intel-only-on-pre-gen4.diff
correctly). Gen4 was released in 2006:

From the Xorg logs attached to bug 1820815
[ 7821.744] (--) PCI:*(0@0:2:0) 8086:a011:1043:83ac rev 2, ...
So that's a GMA3150, as found in Pineview chipsets circa 2010 according to the wikipedia page linked above.
[ 7821.917] (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
[ 7821.917] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 1
[ 7821.917] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 2
[ 7821.917] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 3
Additionally, Xorg is also non-default, we use Wayland since some
time.
That's correct, on the Fedora Workstation using GNOME - But Wayland is a protocol, just like X11, it requires a display server which is gnome-shell, and Alexei mentioned in the bug he's using another spin instead, so no Wayland there.
So indeed, that bug would unlikely affect the default Fedora Workstation.
