thanks, Peter.

The intention was to merge this through the tip tree. Although now I'm
not sure. Options:

	1) take the first patch through the drm-intel tree and apply the
	   second patch later
	2) take everything through the drm tree
	3) take everything through the tip tree

What's your preference here?
