Note that the TTM change alone would break vmwgfx without the other 
part.  This is not obvious, and it's why I placed them together given 
the TTM part is just one line of code, but if you prefer I can split 
them (the TTM change can go second).

Let me know if "looks reasonable" counts as "Acked-by" for that part or not.

By the way, see also

- it touches the same code, and the mistake was noticed by sashiko when 
reviewing this one.
