There is a significant amount of work pending in the DRM development tree
at http://drm.bkbits.net/drm-2.6 (which is included in -mm).  Andrey's
zeroeth patch alone tosses three rejects against it.

David, now would be a good time to start getting that code ready for a
merge.

Andrey, you should rebase your patches on top of the DRM tree, or -mm, and
copy David on the emails.

Thanks.
