Hi Linus,
This is just a bunch of minor patches and fixes for the drm tree.
The biggest change is to the intel driver to fix up some tearing issues,
and a small update to the radeon bounds check to fix r300 issue.
The rest are just cleanups and comment fixes..
Dave.

That's right. I guess you can either align your zone sizes (must be

This is just a heads-up to the folk who read LKML more than more specialized
Linux lists ... there's work afoot to clean up the I2C core and make it fit

Thanks. Yup, filled with zeroes, and the corruption stops (but does _not_

I went on with investigating that problem and found the problem,
though I'm not sure if that solution is acceptable..
seems like the memory range gets preallocated in setup-bus.c, and
CARDBUS_MEM_SIZE defines that size.
I changed
#define CARDBUS_MEM_SIZE(32*1024*1024)
to
#define CARDBUS_

Don't forget to decrease card_count in fail paths and in remove function.
Also null board->base in such cases to point out, that this structure is
unused and thus can be reassigned.
