Hi Gerd,

I've merged 1-4, thanks for those.

Yeah I'm not really sure I like request_regions for drm drivers, yes
its nice to see things, but the fact
that we always get in trouble with efifb and vesafb and that people
seem to insist on later coming along
and supplying unhelpful patches to fix the lack of return checking, I
generally just steer clear.

I'll try and find some time to look at the bochs driver, though is it
really much more than we have with the
simple drm layer that David Herrmann is producing?

Dave.
