I've been tracking master, rather than using the drm stuff in sys/
lately. Since I've got an AMD RS690, I just disabled the Intel driver
after the gem breakage. I should probably try your patches out instead
of the git tree for a bit just to make sure that they don't break
anything new.

I'm still running into some GPU crashes in the current state of the drm
git tree / DRI drivers from git.

Argh for the Linuxization of the DRM code.=20
