qxl: update to new idr interfaces. (2013-05-03 10:37:20 +1000)
So something in this batch of commits breaks a Macbook Pro Retina I have sitting here. If I boot a Fedora kernel based on Linux v3.9-8153-g5a148af, things boot up as they did previously with 3.9.0 and are generally working fine. If I boot with a kernel based on Linux v3.9-8933-gce85722, it will boot but as soon as plymouth starts, I get nothing but static on the screen (like 1950s TV static).
This machine is using i915 graphics, so I booted with nomodeset and did the 'modprobe drm debug=15; modprobe i915 modeset=1' trick and it repeated the failure with that. I've gathered a bunch of data like dmesg, an intel_reg_snapshot, etc. It's all attached below.
I'll start bisecting to see if I can narrow down the commit that broke things, but I thought I would give a heads up now in case anyone has any ideas.
