This flag is added by remote memory patchset and i forgot that test
when splitting dummy driver in 2 patch.

I am trying to add more open source test with the dummy driver. But
they are some basic test already. Note that dummy driver is really
not meant to be use seriously beside as a test bed.

You can also find an updated patchset :

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~glisse/linux/log/?h=hmm

I will probably repost including fixes made so far.

Cheers,
Jérôme
