Thanks for testing.

OK.. I think that can be accommodated. I have rebased your patch on top of mine with some change in commit log.
https://github.com/pratyushanand/linux/commit/6d3805a5e0fbbbd73beba80c2c9151b26399ea67
Will send both of the patches to the list for review.

Yes, unfortunately we will have to live with either remote possibility of less frequent IO transfer corruption or we can disable IO transfer for <=2 viewports. IMHO, former is the better way to go with.
