I think just the sequence that actually makes the machine work; the scarier patches are those which reduce the mode setting time from 5-10s down to .7s.
Is this stretching the bounds of what is acceptable for -stable? Would it look better as a single patch, instead of 14 separate ones?

Let me know what you think; they'll be queued for 3.2 once they've gotten review and (I hope) more testing. It's Jesse's fault there are so many little patches; he asked me to split things up into separate functional changes. It's either that, or I'm just looking to increase the number of patches I have in the kernel.

I'd rather have a 'regular' PC; getting Debian installed on this machine was no picnic. But, I haven't seen anything else in this form factor that includes a display port connector.
