At the moment I would not want to take drm patches from 2.6.32.y without
explicit review. They might apply but not be correct. We should drop them for
now and include things when we update the drm parts.

See above.

This can avoid some yet unknown problems. Anything that partially mlocks the
stack can have bad effects.

For drm reasons I would NAK this set. ACK for non DRM portions.
