I've forgot to mention that this branch has a very funky conflict with
Linus' tree. Essentially it's just a few patches touching the same file
(not even the same functions), but the git diff algo gets completely
confused and thinks that the drm-intel-next branch completely rewrote
large parts of intel_display.c. In truth we've just moved a few functions
out of intel_display.c into intel_pm.c. But because the part in
intel_display.c where git is all confused about is also changed in the 3.4
tree, and we have a merge conflict where none should be.

drm-intel-testing has the merge resolution, in case anyone needs it.
