Looks like that Dave Airlie has pushed another set of patches made by Paul Mackerras into the DRM code. My patches support a wider range of chipsets (Matrox, R128 and Radeon) and provide a framework which makes it easy to add ioctl32 support to more chipsets. Furthermore they have support for both the old style ioctl32 support and the one that uses compat_alloc_user_space() so they should work on a wider range of kernels.
