We never actually moved host1x and Tegra DRM to drm-misc completely.
There's still a separate tree that feeds into linux-next. This made
sense a while ago because there was a lot going on, but development
speed has decreased recently, so we may want to fix that. The big
benefit is that drm-misc is better oiled than drm-tegra, so getting
things merged would be easier for everyone.

I'm all in favor of adding a second Tegra person to take pick up the
slack when necessary.
