Applied to drm-misc-fixes, but just missed the pull request train for
-rc7. Should land in Linus' tree next week.
But I did look at the code, and I have regrets. Macros into untyped arrays
and negative indices is very old skool C. It's definitely neater than
before, but also can't deny that we're doing dental surgery on a living
and fire breathing dragon here :-/
I guess I'll just add this to the list of requirements anyone has to
resolve before we're going to resurrect scrollback.
Cheers, Daniel
