Hi Linus, early in this cycle Daniel Vetter supplied a number of fixes
for memory corruption bugs following module unload of i915.ko. We
postponed these to the next cycle. However, as Thomas Gleixner pointed
out, we should have not left the known memory corruption bugs lie in the
kernel and should have prevented the module unload instead.
