KMS is really an area I do not know much about. While I can say the 
patches are looking good on the IGT side, I cannot guarantee they use 
the KMS interface appropriately therefore the 'Acked-by'. After reading 
the documentation you linked I think it fits rather well since the only 
feedback I gave was on a small oversight.

Thanks,
Antonio
