I'd prefer if everyone on dri-devel just ignored Markus at this stage, If you are going to pick up his patches, please spend time making sure they are correct and tested, as he doesn't seem to. Markus, please contact the list in advance in future before posting a bunch of patches that don't fix any problems.
