If it stays all DRM drivers in one patch then I guess it needs to go via 
drm-misc, which for i915 would be okay I think in this case since patch 
is extremely unlikely to clash with anything. Or split it up per driver 
and then we can handle it in drm-intel-next once core functionality is in.

We do however have some more calls to del_timer_sync, where freeing is 
perhaps not immediately next to the site in code, but things definitely 
get freed like on module unload. Would we need to convert all of them to 
avoid some, presumably new, warnings?
