** Description changed:

  Upstream i915 code has been feature-frozen for drm-next, and rebasing
  i915_bpo to it is fairly simple. We need all the drm_atomic* changes to
  date though, in order to avoid oopses loading the driver. Thankfully
- i915_bpo is the only driver that uses them, so there's no chance of
- regressing other drivers.
+ i915_bpo is the only driver that uses them (besides msm), so there's no
+ chance of regressing other drivers that we care about.
