Subject: Re: linux-next: manual merge of the akpm tree with the drm tree

Hi all,

I'm working on some follow-up patches for the drm fb helper library
already, and fixing up the panic handling is on the plan already. And
since the fb helper has its own panic notifier anyway (simply
unblanking is not good enough to display an oops on a kms device) I
think we should simply return without doing anything from our
->fb_blank if an oops is in progress.

So please drop the patch from the akpm tree, I'll take care of this
(and reply to the original patch submission with my plan).

Thanks, Daniel
