I see that this has not been pulled yet - and of course it is likely due
to the fact that Linus is busy.  But just in case some user feedback
will make a difference, radeon KMS has been refusing to boot for me
since about -rc4 (panic in radeon_agp_init), and I am hoping that this
batch of fixes will correct the problem.

If, however, my hope is misplaced, feel free to let me know so that I
can write up a more formal bug report...

Thanks,
