There was an off list discussion with myself, Dave Airlie and Jesse Barnes about this a few days prior to the 2.6.34 merge window. The KMS patches were entire dropped from the final Linus pull requests for several reasons. * The atomic kernel mode setting path was not stable without mutex exception paths where the kgdb path was allowed to "violate" certain mutex. * Dave wanted the atomic mode setting API to have the callbacks in a different level of the graphics stack * There were still open issues with the keyboard handlers and sysrq trapping where no agreement had been reached between the need of the kernel debugger to slightly change the input vs opinion of the Input maintainers. That means the KMS <-> KDB integration work moved back to the RFC status and at the moment there is no working set of patches for the 2.6.35 stream.
