I prefer the individual commits, each of which must be clearly marked as
a clean cherry-pick or a backport.
I've reviewed the list of commits that went into the squash. With the
exception of 05efb1abecce6e36457ae1a7be29ded7ac52292a "drm/ttm: ttm
object security fixes for render nodes", all of the other commits only
touch drm/vmwgfx. I'll assume y'all know what you're doing there.
