Ok. Though as noted in the cover letter, the patch here is meant as a
placeholder till the real thing being discussed on dri-devel is
finalized. I was trying to avoid cross-posting too much, hence the
separate submission on dri-devel.

It seems your mail client doesn't like me :-) I got neither of your
responses. Sorry, I should've checked the archives when I didn't hear
anything. In any case thank you for your review, and I will update
that patch and send out a new version shortly.


  Cheers,

  Ronald
