Thanks for the libdrm bits Rob. IIRC on the mesa side Christian
reworked the render-only parts noticeably, yet as long as there isn't
a crazy amount of changes outside of the etnaviv driver I think we're
fine with getting it in.

Christian, can you send out a series ?

With this said, and the last minute nine work I think it'll be wiser
to have the branch point on the 14th.
