After months of hard work we are finally able to push out initial drm
and accel code for r6xx and r7xx chipsets. We couldn't have done this
without a lot of hard work from a lot of people. Of particular note:

Matthias Hopf - implementing r600_demo as a test program to get the hw
up and running
Dave Airlie - initial r6xx drm implementation
John Bridgman - sheparding along the IP review process

This release is mostly targeted at developers as the code is not
really ready for regular use. The accompanying r6xx/r7xx register
spec is still in IP review and will be released soon.

Yay! Exciting!

Congrats and thanks to everyone who made this possible.

I'm a dev by trade and I'd be quite happy to test it on my system (R770) and
provide reports, or would you only recommend this for people who actually
want to hack on it?

It's not particularly useful for end users at the moment.
