Hi Rob,

Thanks for the patch (0/11 looks a bit weird BTW).

Documentation/DocBook/drm.tmpl is missing ;-)

I still wish we could have found a way to call drm_vblank_count_and_time() and 
do_gettimeofday() outside of the spinlock-protected region, but I won't 
complain. Apart from the missing documentation update the patch looks OK to 
me.
