I don't use it myself, but Phoronix mentioned that this merge has part of intel's "fastboot" work, which seems to be about reusing bios-allocated frame buffers.

Also, here is airlied's pull request. It doesn't name fastboot, but does give a shootout to “the worst news site ever”, the one I've just linked to :P

Getting fastboot merged is a long road, we've pulled in preparatory infrastructure since 3.7. Currently I'm optimistic that 3.10 will have something which can actually avoid the initial modeset in some configurations. But there are still a lot of loose pieces to nail down.
