Brown-paper-bag pull request here. The snb rc6 fix from the last pull broke forcewake BIOS dirt cleanup, which with fixed. But that fix broke the spinlock init sequence, which results in an ugly BUG when spinlock debugging is enabled :( So I get to throw another patch at cc: stable to fix up the mess ... * tag 'drm-intel-fixes-2013-07-25' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel: drm/i915: initialize gt_lock early with other spin locks drm/i915: fix hdmi portclock limits

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
