Hi,

I've got a bug report, that this commit breaks 3.12-stable:
===============
While testing KDE5 packages which will be landing in Package Hub for
SP1, we found a issue with qxl drm driver in kernel.

When booting SLES (or SLED) 12 SP1, in a libvirt KVM environment, with
QXL as video driver, KDE5 plasma was not rendered on screen, you could
only see mouse cursor.

Booting with nomodeset=1 or qxl.modeset=0 fixes the issue.
===============

Does it make sense? Is 3.12 missing some prerequisite? Or should we just
revert the commit in 3.12? And what about 3.14, 4.1?

Thanks.
