Linus Torvalds 3ded7acfdd Merge branch 'drm-fixes' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
Pull drm fixes from Dave Airlie:
 "A bunch of fixes:
   - vmware memory corruption
   - ttm spinlock balance
   - cirrus/mgag200 work in the presence of efifb
  and finally Alex and Jerome managed to track down a magic set of bits
  that on certain rv740 and evergreen cards allow the correct use of the
  complete set of render backends, this makes the cards operate
  correctly in a number of scenarios we had issues in before, it also
  manages to boost speed on benchmarks my large amounts on these
  specific gpus."

************************************************************

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
    http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=387
