Generally looks sensible but:

1. This is a staging driver, so good practise is to cc the staging
maintainer and preferably the author (though I'm on dri-devel so its ok).
It needs to be co-ordinated with existing staging changes and the
maintainer needs to know what is going on

2. It needs a changelog. Your 0/6 won't be in the git tree and someone
chasing regressions may only see the individual patch changelog and not
be sure what it relates to. From/Signed off by alone is not helpful.

3. GMA500 used the old way of doing things because last mail conversation
I had with Hugh the cleaned up interfaces could not guarantee the page is
mapped in the low 32bits and for any of the GMA500/600 series devices.

Has that changed ? I think I'd also prefer it if the methods had a
BUG_ON() getting a high page when they asked for DMA32.
