Thanks for doing a prerelease, Carl. AFAICS it fixes a lot of issues. One
issue I noticed. Kernel 2.6.36+ appears to be a requirement for this
release. With Kernel 2.6.34.7 the result is a black screen with the never
ending error message:
(EE) intel(0): Failed to submit batch buffer, expect rendering corruption or
even a frozen display: No such device.
This is confirmed for GM45/965GM/Pineview. Is this requirement intentional or
could it be considered a bug? libdrm is at commit a52e61b. Maybe the latest
commit in libdrm fixes it?

intel: initialize bufmgr.bo_mrb_exec unconditionally
If bufmgr.bo_mrb_exec is not set, drm_intel_bo_mrb_exec returns ENODEV
even though drm_intel_gem_bo_mrb_exec2 will work fine for the RENDER ring.
Fixes xf86-video-intel after commit 'add BLT ring support' (5bed685f76)
with kernels without BSD or BLT ring support (2.6.34 and before).
