On reviewing all the changes in libdrm 2.4.24 over what we have in natty, aside from this fix most of the remaining changes don't look important for natty. There are three nouveau patches for GeForce 400/500 chips that might be worth taking, however we there haven't been any LP bug reports filed for chips of that family (maybe folks are just installing nvidia).

So... I think for now I'll skip libdrm 2.4.24 and just do this one fix. We can backport other fixes as we need them. If anyone has strong feelings one way or the other on updating to the libdrm release let me know; we'd need to do a FFe, etc.
