Hi Julia,

thanks for the patch. However, the tree that you generated it against is
a personal development tree and it happens to have a bunch of commits in
it that are very experimental and some of which are very unlikely to go
upstream. There's an IOCTL addition patch (touched by hunk 7 in this
patch) that is used only for testing purposes. All of the other hunks do
pply properly to linux-next, so I think those can be posted. Nouveau is
maintained by Ben Skeggs, though, so they should be addressed to him.

I don't personally mind getting these patches, and I don't mind people
seeing the personal development tree (it's publicly available, after
all) but I think patches against this tree will be confusing to anyone
but me because they are likely not going to apply anywhere other than
that tree.

Thanks,
Thierry
