+Release 2.20.17 (2012-12-26)
+============================
+A minor update to prepare for co-operating with the kernel over managing
+stability on 830gm/845g. On this pair of chipsets, the kernel will perform
+an extra copy of the batchbuffer into reserved memory, which prevents them
+from randomly dying. However, that extra copy does have a noticeable
+impact upon throughput, so we also have a mechanism for userspace to
+opt-out of the kernel workaround and take responsibility for ensuring its
+batches are coherent.
