[ANNOUNCE] Broadwell temporary branch

[ANNOUNCE] Broadwell temporary branch

[Ben Widawsky]

In response to the demand for Broadwell features and fixes which are not
yet merged in our upstream drm-intel repository
(http://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel/) I will be maintaining a branch
in my freedesktop repository with some of the features and fixes that I
have been using myself.

Platform branches have not worked particularly well for us in the past,
and I am hopeful that the repository will be [extremely] short lived
because many of the patches I am keeping are either obvious fixes, or
decently reviewed patch series. At the very least it will be maintained
until Daniel returns from vacation next week (but I do expect it to last
at least a few weeks past that).

The branch will be a rebasing branch from the upstream
drm-intel-nightly, and should not be expected to be as stable as
upstream Broadwell support. Please only use this if you need to use a
specific feature, or fix in the branch.

The current series has the following:
Broadwell hardware semaphore support - review comments pending.
Broadwell 4GB GGTT + PPGTT cleanups - reviewed
Broadwell RC6 support - review comments pending
FBC Support
Random fixes from Mika - I have the older series here.

Likely coming soon:
Runtime PM support for Broadwell from Paulo

Thanks for your attention.
