Subject: [PATCH 7/7] drm/i915: Add dependency on CONFIG_TMPFS
to the drm-next branch of the 2.6.32+drm33-longterm tree which can be found at

Subject: [PATCH 7/7] drm/i915: Add dependency on CONFIG_TMPFS
commit f7ab9b407b3bc83161c2aa74c992ba4782e87c9c upstream.
Without tmpfs, shmem_readpage() is not compiled in causing an OOPS as
soon as we try to allocate some swappable pages for GEM.
