git bisect log

I noticed mplayer showing some tearing starting from kernel version v3.10.7
which wasn't there in v3.8.
I could bisect it down to commit 1d7c71a3e2f77336df536855b0efd2dc5bdeb41b
(drm/nouveau/disp: port vblank handling to event interface).
Unfortunately c7d73f6a8ad71f9d9f58c86981322c6e48093a4f introduced a
NULL-pointer dereference regression. Luckily I found
526810adb93554e17bdb83023a01cfa8758960b2 which fixes that. Doing the bisect I
had to cherry-pick that each time until I tried commit 1d7c71a. At this commit
I additionally need to cherry-pick c8f28f8.
After adding those 2 commits I could run mplayer again and could clearly see
the tearing effect.
