The gma500 driver will not build until you pull the drm tree into yours
as that is an api dependancy it needs.  I didn't think you build staging
drivers, so I didn't think I needed to call this one out.  I was wrong :)

As for the others, I don't know of any build problems, what one did you
have a problem with?
