We've gone through a lot of pain to clean up this kind of init-level ordering on other devices and the result is, in my opinion, a *lot* better than what we had before. It'd be shame to see i915 backpedal on that. That said, if everyone else thinks that it really can't be done and this workaround is the best way forward, I'll just shut up about it and stop caring. Mika, Andy, any objections to this? Thierry
