Thanks for taking a look at all the patches and for the suggestions, Daniel.

Just my two cents. I think it makes sense to replace the lock with the 
lockdep assertion. This avoids the weirdness with the lock being taken 
both as an outer lock and sometimes as a deeply embedded inner lock.

But we'll probably have to fix some stuff because I don't think we 
always hold the rwsem in the places where the spinlock is grabbed (i.e. 
when drm_is_current_master or drm_file_get_master is called).

I'll split the series as suggested so we can test things up to PATCH 4 
("drm: avoid races with modesetting rights"). For the rest of the series 
to remove the spinlock, I'll take a closer look and probably send out a 
patch later this week.

Best wishes,
Desmond
