btw, Daniel started converting i915 over to docbook.. I probably
should look at converting some/all of my NOTES over to docbook one of
these days..

Anyway, I think I mostly managed to cover the parts that Thierry did
not get to yet.  Although you did seem to squash/drop/rearrange some
parts, so hopefully I didn't miss something as a result.
