[Call for testers] DRM device-independent code update to Linux 3.8

[Jean-Sébastien Pédron]

Hi!

An update to the DRM subsystem, not including the drivers, is ready for
wider testing!

The patch against HEAD is here:
https://people.freebsd.org/~dumbbell/graphics/drm-update-38.f.patch

I'm interested in success/failure reports for amd64, powerpc and
powerpc64 users, for i915 and Radeon GPUs. I already know there is a
build issue on i386, please wait for the next patch if you are in this case.

The changes brought by this patch are explained in a blog post:
http://blogs.freebsdish.org/graphics/2015/02/18/testing-the-drm-update/

This is working well for some Radeon users for more than a year.
However, it only started to work with i915 a month ago, when the i915
refresh was committed.

Try your day-to-day applications, try suspend/resume, try all output
connectors, try OpenGL stuff, try backlight controls, everything :)

Thank you!
