Note: I will *not* be taking these kinds of pull requests after rc1.

If Vega10 is in such bad shape that it will need this kind of stuff
and isn't worth shipping without them in 4.12, I will take a *oneline*
that just disables it.

So no "thousands of lines of fixes for a new driver".

Being new to 4.12 isn't an excuse for crazy stuff after the merge
window. If it will need more of this kind of attention, all it means
is that it shouldn't have been sent to me at all in the first place.

The drm subsystem is still on my "no more of this shit" list, so I'm
going to be very unforgiving of big pull requests when they aren't
appropriate.
