From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This provides a requirement of the new qxl DRM driver to
be available only on kernels >= 3.3. The requirement
comes from the usage of radix_tree_for_each_slot() that
this uses the new radix bit-optimized iterator added
via 78c1d7848 on 3.4. We backport this via the compat
module but only for v3.3 given that addressing this
backport for v3.2 requires addressing e2bdb933 which
changes the radix_tree_node.
qxl was added on next-20130415.
mcgrof@frijol ~/linux-stable (git::master)$ git describe --contains 78c1d7848
v3.4-rc2~15^2~26
mcgrof@frijol ~/linux-stable (git::master)$ git describe --contains e2bdb933
v3.3-rc1~81^2~8
Someone wishing to #ifdef this to enable qxl support on
v3.2 by using the old radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot()
can look at 0fc9d1040313047edf6a39fd4d7c7defdca97c62
as an example collateral evolution change.

drm: add new QXL driver. (v1.4)
QXL is a paravirtual graphics device used by the Spice virtual desktop
interface.
The drivers uses GEM and TTM to manage memory, the qxl hw fencing however
is quite different than normal TTM expects, we have to keep track of a number
of non-linear fence ids per bo that we need to have released by the hardware.
The releases are freed from a workqueue that wakes up and processes the
release ring.
releases are suballocated from a BO, there are 3 release categories, drawables,
surfaces and cursor cmds. The hw also has 3 rings for commands, cursor and release handling.
The hardware also have a surface id tracking mechnaism and the driver
encapsulates it completely inside the kernel, userspace never sees the actual hw sur
ids.
This requires a newer version of the QXL userspace driver, so shouldn't be
enabled until that has been placed into your distro of choice.
Authors: Dave Airlie, Alon Levy
v1.1: fixup some issues in the ioctl interface with padding
v1.2: add module device table
v1.3: fix nomodeset, fbcon leak, dumb bo create, release ring irq,
don't try flush release ring (broken hw), fix -modesetting.
v1.4: fbcon cpu usage reduction + suitable accel flags.
