Well, Greg squeezed the vbox driver into -rc2, so now we already get
to resolve this in a backmerge. And hopefully the bikeshed patches in
-staging won't interfere too badly with whatever refactoring we'll do
in drm-next.

Greg, fyi this is the last time I'll ack a drm driver for staging.
This just doesn't work. We're spending more time here working the
-staging vs. drm-next conflicts than the actual vbox driver review has
taken me. And probly less than the cleanup for merging directly to
drm-next will end up taking.

Thanks, Daniel
