Motivated by your success with merging drm-radeon-testing to 2.6.33-rc8, 
I woke up early today and gave it another try.  Last time I tried, I was 
a bit intimidated by some of the conflicts:  not knowing the code, I 
thought it was likely I would make poor choices.  I looked at the code 
more carefully this time, and some of the conflicts that looked really 
confusing before actually were simple to resolve after all.

Now I also have 2.6.33-rc8 running with Evergreen DRM + KMS; I don't see 
any errors or warnings at all if I run

     dmesg | egrep -i 'kms|drm|radeon|atom|ttm'

and everything seems to be running fine right now.
