Thanks for the patch, I applied it now.

It's simply a matter of finding time.  Doing the DRM update was a big
effort for me because I'm not all that familiar with AGP, GART, etc.,
yet it's important to clean it up so we can get it into the mainline
of the kernel (otherwise, it will keep eating small bits of my time
each time a new kernel is released).  Of course, having 2.5.29 corrupt
files on some of my IDE disks didn't help either.  Anyhow, I think
we're very close now to having DRM out of the way (only one open issue
is left over).
