Oh, are we doing an -rc3 backmerge soon? At the moment I can base these
patches on neither drm-misc (due to the font_copy removal), nor mainline
(due to the signedness issue in font_desc we've talked about), so I'm
waiting for a backmerge to rebase everything properly. Sorry that I
didn't mention earlier.

I will rebase and send everything (including the font_copy
garbage-collecting) in a v3 series after the backmerge. Thanks,
