Subject: Re: [git pull] drm

The channel/context switch lock related patches (to the best of
knowledge) haven't even gone outside the nouveau tree, so the initial
damage isn't even there. At least not for the first path. As for the
2nd patch, that one was squished into the original patch for this pull
iirc.

Maarten.
