drm: i915 patches from Tungsten Graphics
Fix CMDBUFFER path, add heap destroy and flesh out sarea for rotation

actually fixes the problem. Now that I know what to look for, I notice
that the network errors always started cropping up after X11 started.
Wonder what's going on here. Why is the graphics driver killing my network?
