4.5 regression - [drm/vmwgfx] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

[Jongman Heo]

Hi all,

With Linux 4.5-rc4, I still have a problem what I had reported, on VMWare workstation 10 (Linux guest, Windows 7 host);

   [drm/vmwgfx] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) 
   http://linux-kernel.2935.n7.nabble.com/drm-vmwgfx-BUG-unable-to-handle-kernel-NULL-pointer-dereference-at-null-td1283153.html

First bad commit was d56f57ac "drm/gma500: Move to private save/restore hooks."
