This is the attitude we take towards open source drivers or subsystems
we rely on. We expect fixes to be done where the problem lies, we do not
tape over things at a different place. Nvidia's closed source crap is
evil anyway, and I have very little reason to cut them more slack than i
would cut open source driver folks. That'd be completely backwards...

REally, nvidia needs to fix its stuff use the normal APIs, I should not
have to work around their brokeness... If their driver was Open Source I
am sure somebody would already have fixed the crap out of it, to follow
the usual DRM APIs, but if they don't want to play by the rules they
don't get special treatment from me.

But then again, I merged the patch, so let's end this here.
