FWIW, Andrew took my patch in mm:
  http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/fb-rework-locking-to-fix-lock-ordering-on-takeover.patch
  http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/fb-yet-another-band-aid-for-fixing-lockdep-mess.patch

Ok, so, which one should I take for 3.8?  And ideally the fb maintainer
should do this, not I, right?
Please see http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fbdev/msg08954.html

Tomi might be able to review the above for us.  I think we need both. 
If nothing else happens I intend to send both Linuswards for 3.8 in a
week or two.
