I'm cleaning out older patches that didn't make it in yet now, and got to this
one. I looked at the current state and found that the ipp specific half of my
patch is obsolete now, and we won't need to patch anything there with
Marek's new version.

For the G2D half, I'll just resubmit the patch I had here, let's discuss
further from there, if you think we should just drop the timestamp.

Thanks!
