Hi Greg,

Unfortunate hardware owners of Intel Atom's Cedar Trail platforms (like Atom 
N2600/N2800) like myself have been relying on the excellent work of thomas001 
on the cedarview-drm kernel driver, https://github.com/thomas001/cedarview-
drm, to enable the use of the cedarview_gfx module and its proprietary, 
accelerated userspace xorg driver pvr, with later kernel releases.

Unfortunately, the 3.10 kernel release brought about some major changes in  
include/linux/proc_fs.h that prevent the successful compilation of the 
cedarview_gfx kernel module, as reported here 
https://github.com/thomas001/cedarview-drm/issues/1 .

Can you suggest how one proceeds from here? Intel cannot be relied upon to 
update the driver package, even at least the open-source cedarview-drm source 
package, for this hardware.
