I think we want a similar note in the drm-usage-stats.rst file.

With the above the whole series is:

Have you maybe noticed my slightly alternative proposal? (*) I am not a fan of putting this flavour of accounting into the core with no way to opt out. I think it leaves no option but to add more keys in the future for any driver which will not be happy with the core accounting.

Fwiw: Keeping the i915 patch as part of this series would be great.
Sure i915_drm_client->id becomes dead code, but it's a piece one can
live with for a release or two. Then again it's not my call to make.

Rob can take the i915 patch from my RFC too.
