The two patches are based on top of Rafael's linux-next tree. I just
tried it again, no compile problem for me. I also tried on today Linus'
master tree, as there are some updates from i915, two conflicts exist.
I've just resolved them and will update it in next revision.
If you want to try it now, please use:
