Is the last bit still true after you merged:

   commit 202b52b7fbf70858609ec20829c7d69a13ffa351
   Author: Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>
   Date:   Wed Aug 3 16:04:09 2016 +0100

       drm: Track drm_mm nodes with an interval tree

Or we could PIN_HIGH the LRCs as well now?

Regards,

Tvrtko
