Indeed.

I am not sure what's the etiquette in these cases but I sent you some patches
that fixes the tests and makes some adjustments to help out (all changelog-ed).
There were a couple of failures lately regarding vram defaults and what not so
some of the tests would fail as vram defaults would be wrongly calculated. Jim
sent a series fixing that which is Acked already but still to be pushed.
