Hi Sean,

I now understand the nature of the issue that caused the problem with i915 and
have proceed to remove the global context structure (which revealed a similar
issue in the amdgpu driver).

I have prepared a V3 version of the patch set where these issues should
hopefully be fixed for both the i915 and amdgpu drivers.

In order to prevent causing more disruption, could you tell me what the proper
way to proceed would be? In particular:

1. Is there any place where I can push my changes so that they are tested
on a i915 machine? (Some type of automated pool)

2. I can test the amdgpu driver on my machine but, what about all the other
architectures? What is the standard procedure? Should I simply publish V3
and wait for feedback from the different vendors? (I would hate to cause a
simular situation again)

3. Should I post V3 on top of drm-next or drm-misc-next?

Thanks for your patience :)
