3 fixes, one for an ongoing Intel VT-d/Ironlake GPU that I've been testing, and one kexec fix from Jerome for an issue reported on the list where the gpu writeback engines need to be switched off, along with a trivial fix from Alex.
Quite frankly, I think it's too late for something like a kexec bugfix. Nobody cares. So kexec doesn't work - that's not something new. This doesn't smell like a regression to me. And the kcalloc things you mention *sound* like some kind of cleanup crap.
The DRM layer has been fairly good for a few releases, but I'm getting the feeling that I need to start pushing back, because I'm getting stuff that I don't think matters, and shouldn't be sent to me after -rc4.
So I'm not pulling this.
What the heck is up?
By now, I want fixes that either fix real regressions that people *care* about, or that help new unreleased hardware that people *will* care about and that cannot possibly mess up old users.
kexec? Who the f*ck cares? Really?
