Reprod for inclusion into 3.6. Has been tested on all affected drivers by
some random people (and me), and imo really nicely shoves some horrible
stuff into driver-private close callbacks. Heck, I like this so much that
I've ebayed myself through a few sis cards until I've found one that
actually worked.  And then fixed the sis driver for 64bit ;-)

Note that the procfs patch is bogus, after some prodding by you on irc
we've dug up a few scripts that rely on this. And some strange tools in
libdrm.git to read out the procfs debug files and cat them together. So
don't include that one - it's smells like a mild form of abi breakage.

Cheers, Daniel
