Bug Description

SRU justification: we need matching version of kernel driver for Poulsbo and xorg, libdrm etc. The required version is the .16 release.

We need the latest version of the Poulsbo (PSB) graphics driver in UME for our release. This needs to match the xorg, libdrm, and libva versions; everything is ready, except the kernel.

We need this change in the hardy Ubuntu kernel modules ASAP as we don't want to work the modules and have to maintain the fork for the next 18 months.

TEST CASE: check version of psb.ko driver in the module file, or when loaded, or in the source

Graphics driver comes up fine, Xorg works.

NB: I didn't test 3D which is a proprietary driver.

Careful, this package doesn't work with the -19 linux kernel in -updates, it needs the one from -proposed too as the ABI broke (lpia has the kernel ABI checks disabled).

I test-booted the -19.34 kernel with the new l-u-m on i386 and amd64, and confirm that it works well. Since there are no code changes, a shallow test (miscompilations, etc.) suffices here.
