When will that happen: drm-next inclusion?

Just FYI:
Pulling fbcon-locking-fixes into Linux-Next (next-20130205) shows some
ugly UTF-8 mismatch, means "fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on
takeover" is not the same patch as in -next.
Just wanna let you know.

It would be good to inform Andrew and Stephen when this happened, so
Andrew can drop the two fb-fixes from his mmotm-tree.

Thanks!
