Update for this thread as well: it looks like I'm just being unlucky,
and there are two independent problems. The drm problem *may* be just
the warning issue that has been reported by others.

I'm hoping the login time timeout / hang ends up being due to a known
netlink regression, and it just happened to look like a drm issue
because it exposes itself as a hang at the first graphical login

A netlink regression *might* fit the pattern, in that it might just
cause first login dependency issues and resulting timeouts.

After what has felt like a very smooth release cycle so far, having
what looks like two entirely independent issues strikes me as
unlikely, but hey, unlikely clearly does occasionally happen.
