Merge branch 'drm-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6
* 'drm-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6: (30 commits) vgaarb: fix incorrect dereference of userspace pointer. drm/radeon/kms: retry auxch on 0x20 timeout value. drm/radeon: Skip dma copy test in benchmark if card doesn't have dma engine. drm/vmwgfx: Fix a circular locking dependency bug. drm/vmwgfx: Drop scanout flag compat and add execbuf ioctl parameter members. Bumps major. drm/vmwgfx: Report propper framebuffer_{max|min}_{width|height} drm/vmwgfx: Update the user-space interface. drm/radeon/kms: fix screen clearing before fbcon. nouveau: fix state detection with switchable graphics drm/nouveau: move dereferences after null checks drm/nv50: make the pgraph irq handler loop like the pre-nv50 version drm/nv50: delete ramfc object after disabling fifo, not before drm/nv50: avoid unloading pgraph context when ctxprog is running drm/nv50: align size of buffer object to the right boundaries. drm/nv50: disregard dac outputs in nv50_sor_dpms() drm/nv50: prevent multiple init tables being parsed at the same time drm/nouveau: make dp auxch xfer len check for reads only drm/nv40: make INIT_COMPUTE_MEM a NOP, just like nv50 drm/nouveau: Add proper vgaarb support. drm/nouveau: Fix fbcon on mixed pre-NV50 + NV50 multicard. ...

- Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default,
- and you have a new enough userspace to support this. Running old
- userspaces with this enabled will cause pain.
+ Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default.
+
+ This is a completely new driver. It's only part of the existing drm
+ for compatibility reasons. It requires an entirely different graphics
+ stack above it and works very differently from the old drm stack.
+ i.e. don't enable this unless you know what you are doing it may
+ cause issues or bugs compared to the previous userspace driver stack.
When kernel modesetting is enabled the IOCTL of radeon/drm
driver are considered as invalid and an error message is printed
