The driver changes are pretty much ready to go.
But we have a bit of a chicken-egg problem because those changes likely
go through different trees. The GPU driver changes will go through
drm-next, but we can't merge them there until our dependencies have been
merged there from upstream. Unless we protect everything with some #ifdef.
