I'm not sure is going to be merged because most of this code has been
re-written and has been sitting in drm-intel-next for a few weeks now.
This (welcome) rewrite will likely be merged in 2.6.37 (but I can't
speak for Chris).

This is a port of this patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ickle/drm-intel.git;a=commit;h=e5e408fc94595aab897f613b6f4e2f5b36870a6f
, but on completely different code.

Also this patch is new and didn't see much testing (I tested on 4
different Intel GPUs, belonging only to 2 different families); if it's
not merged for 2.6.36, it won't be for 2.6.37 (the new code will land
first). If that happens, it might not meet conditions to be accepted
in -stable (being in linus' tree first).
