This ticket needs someone to check several points (three patches, in the page):

It needs to be fixed for 32-bit machines and for cards which do not support

GCC patch was merged as-is in the 1.17 branch. Modesetting driver sw cursor should also be fixed, although the patch is way simpler it seems. Prime patch is non-upstreamable patch and will never be part of any release.

I have already verified that the gcc5 issue has been solved (by trying to apply the patch, not yet built it.

Also have rediffed the add_prime_support-1.patch
