Yeah, it's in the first one. My bad. I didn't notice, because that one got 
cancelled for other reasons and never even tested.

That doesn't change the simple basic issue: how are people with Fedora-12 
going to test any kernel out now? And are there libdrm versions that can 
handle _both_ cases, so that people can bisect things? IOW, even if you 
have a new libdrm, will it then work with the _old_ kernel too?

Backwards compatibility is really important.
