I've pushed this to drm-misc-next. I know it's only been a few hours
since I posted it to the lists, but it's the same as v9 that's been
sitting there for a while, except for checking the result of kazalloc
that Lyude noticed (thanks!). I'm not aware of anyone else planning to
add reviews and presume that if they were going to speak up they'd
have done it by now.

While landing, the "dim" tools pointed out two whitespace issues in
patch #4 which I fixed while applying.

Thanks to everyone for all the reviews and help in getting this
whipped into shape!
