Adding drm-intel-fixes branch to linux-next

Hi Stephen

Can you please add the drm-intel-fixes branch to your linux-next tree
on top of the for-linux-next branch you've already included from my
drm-intel repo at git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel ?

I'm asking since I've merged a patch to -fixes late in the 3.10 cycle
and despite that I've let it soak for almost two week in my -fixes
branch it readily blew up once 3.10 shipped. I think that the added
tester populace of linux-next could have prevented this gaffle. The
bug report for reference:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60530

Note that atm for-linux-next points at the same commit as
drm-intel-fixes (since we're in the merge window), so adding this
branch shouldn't add new conflicts. I just want to be ready after -rc1
is tagged, since then I'll push our feature branch for 3.12 onto
for-linux-next, which will kick the patches on -fixes out of
linux-next.

Thanks, Daniel
