Yes, let's have Jani chime in on these.  They're basically one and the
same issue.  This code will have to be built into into the core i915
driver even with my planned split, which is kindof the point of this
exercise.  I think it makes sense to use the subdirectories as boundaries
for where the code ends up and not to declarare maintainership boundaries,
but it will be up to the i915 and gvt maintainers to decide that.
