I think the idea of sharing kernel drm code is pretty much dead, yeah.
We are still trying to keep it alive, despite what some may think.
In the context of this patch (in progress), it's probably a moot topic
because per comments that Daniel sent, most of the locks in
drm_vblank_wait will become unecessary after I rework the patch
and I won't need to introduce (new) DRM_WAIT_ON_LOCKED any more.
I will, however, *not* convert existing DRM_WAIT_ON to a Linux-centric
function, so I will not be the one to kill (or contribute to the killing
of) the portability of that file. That I leave to someone else ;-).
P.S. If the "fight" starts I will side with the "keep the portability
alive" camp. I have "emotional" ties with other (less widely used)
operating systems. ;-)
