btw, for the drm/msm part,

Acked-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@...il.com>

(and also for the following patch removing the deprecated warnings)

I would also like to rework the locking in drm/msm to be more fine
grained and not require this (as i915 plans).. I'm also just one
person with a lot else on my plate so I'm not sure I'll get around to
that quite as quickly as i915.. (otoh I'll be watching how i915
handles this, since I guess I should be able to follow the same
approach)
