[Intel-gfx] backporting patches for 2.9.1 xorg intel driver

Hi all,

as you know some major distributions are going to ship the 2.6.32
kernel for long term releases. On top of this, some distros (like
Debian) have been using the drm tree from 2.6.33 to provide some
improvement.

However, it appears that the next Debian stable is going to have the
2.9.1 intel xorg driver.

To cut a long story short, are there any important patches that should
be backported to the 2.9.1 series?
I'm thinking specifically of the ones relating to the "new" graphics
card integrated into the iX chips, the Intel HD.

Thanks for your help,
Pedro Ribeiro
