The proper fix must be done at the time Airlied merges Linus' tree to drm-next. Well, probably it is already fixed in Linus' tree, so there is nothing to fix, really. I've been wondering when the merge happens... btw. Nouveau does not carry backwards support, so when it does happen, all Nouveau users need to upgrade too. Users wishing to mix and match versions may find your patch useful. -- Pekka Paalanen http://www.iki.fi/pq/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
