Yes, the kernel patch already merged, see:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel/commit/?id=506a8e87d8d2746b9e9d2433503fe237c54e4750

I find below line of code in libdrm does not match the kernel version. The kernel patch defined as:
"#define EXEC_OBJECT_PINNED (1<<4)", but this patch defined it as (1<<3).

Hello Michal,

Could you help to rebase the patch against:
[Intel-gfx] [PATCH libdrm v4 0/2] 48-bit virtual address support in	i915
I think we need both 48bit & softpin in libdrm.
