My tree in drm-rawhide shouldn't have many TTM + modeset commits. My plan was to take the core modesetting additions patch 75432e26f0a14a30da437018938d4c04a8faa00e db392921b6e5d051b6651c1f8d47875da789fb44 get a tree with just those in it, copy over the latest version of the modesetting files from the head of the branch and make that the base patch. Then get the multi-master bits (can go before or after modesetting in theory). Then drop the Intel driver on top. Nearly all the work on drm-rawhide has been on radeon mm and kms so the core kms code hasn't see major amount of changes. We should ignore radeon from an upstream perspective for the moment as the TTM interfacing needs to happen first.
