Bjorn first of all any objections to this? It sounds save to me, only a handful of drivers actually use this function and it generally seems to be the right things to do.
Then if you agree any objections to up-streaming it through AMDs GPU branch? That would make things a bit easier for us.
Thanks,
Christian.
