Instead of smashing all these patches into one, what about checking here
for midlayer driver set with:

	/* register here for drivers still using midlayer load/unload */
	if (dev->driver->load)
		drm_connector_register(connector),

Similar in other places. That way we wouldn't need to switch the world in
one patch.
