Hi!

I found a small bug in drm_proc.h. DRM(_vm_info) tries to access
dev->maplist, but dev->maplist is only intitialized when the device is
opened, so if you do a cat /proc/dri/0/vm just after you load any DRM module
(just before loading X), you'll get an oops and mess up the whole proc
system in the process...

I've attached a fix for it. The patch is against the 2.4.10 kernel, but I
think drm_proc.h in the 2.4.10 kernel is the same as in the DRI CVS
repository.

Regards Abraham
