After the fix in drm-intel-next to fix the DP bandwidth math this series
is probably less useful, since 1920x1200 will in fact fit in 2x2.7G:

(193250 * 24 + 9) / 10 == 463800

But if you have a Really Very Nice CRT then it might still be desirable.
2048x1536 @ 60Hz GTF for example:

(266950 * 24 + 9) / 10 == 640680
(266950 * 18 + 9) / 10 == 480510

I can respin patch 2 if there's still interest, but it might be
difficult to find a monitor to test against.  Patch 1 is still valid
though.
