Just in case anyone is following in my footsteps...

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/anholt/drm-intel.git
cd drm-intel/
cp /boot/config-2.6.32-14-generic .config
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-`git describe` kernel_image

For my build git describe returned "v2.6.29-rc1-51333-g9df3079". This source tree already has the batch buffer dump v8 patch applied, which I checked using "git log".

Then install the new kernel. I'm using lilo bootloader because the lucid alpha2 alternate install CD refused to install grub.

You can send the attached dump to the Intel folks.
