Thanks! For now I'll hold off on landing to see where this series ends
up. If the series ends up looking good we'll have to coordinate
landing the various bits between the drm and the hid trees and the
second drm patch in my series depends on this one>

If my series implodes I'll land this one on its own with your Ack. In
any case, once this lands somewhere I'll take an AI to cleanup the
panels.
