Alright well I guess we can close it as an X issue.  Sounds like most of
the trouble occurs kernel-side, but you can let the kernel team know if
there's changes needed there.

On the foot shooting, I agree, it's probably going to take some time to
digest all these changes, and having so much of the code in the kernel
makes bug analysis a bit more intricate.  But so far so good, at least
with Intel; we'll see what happens when we switch KMS on by default.
