DRM_IOCTL_VIA_DMA_INIT DRM_IOCTL_VIA_CMDBUFFER DRM_IOCTL_VIA_FLUSH
The first ioctl sets up an area in AGP memory that will be used as the ring
buffer. The second ioctl copies a command buffer from user space memory
to the ring buffer. The third ioctl waits for engine idle until it
returns.
The motivation for this patch is to avoid the wait for engine idle call
before each buffer flush in the current DRI driver. With this patch,
the DRI driver can continue to flush its buffer as long as there is
free space in the ring buffer.
This patch adds an additional copy operation on the command buffer. This
buffer copying is necessary to support multiple DRI clients rendering
simultaneously. Otherwise, more CPU time will be spent in the busy loop
waiting for engine idle between DRI context switch. Even in the single
client case, the tradeoff is reasonable in comparision to the kernel
call to check for free buffer space for the client to render directly
to the ring buffer.
2. Big change to the XvMC part of the SAREA. OpenGL clients will not suffer
from this, and via XvMC is still alpha. Needed to make future additions
to XvMC (More decoders and overlays) possible.
3. Bumped version number to 1.3.0.
allows the mesa drivers to use a single definition of the DRM
sarea/IOCTLS located in the drm driver directory. Adjustments were made
to the 2D drivers to not include these changes. Changes to the mesa
copy of DRM were copied to the DRI copy. XFree86 bug: Reported by:

a busid that doesn't correspond to the device the DRM is attached to.
This is a breaking of backwards-compatibility only for the
multiple-DRI-head case with X Servers that don't use interface 1.1.
- Move irq_busid to drm_irq.h and make it only return the IRQ for the
current device. Retains compatibility with previous X Servers, cleans
up unnecessary code. This means no irq_busid on !__HAVE_IRQ, but can be
changed if necessary.
- Bump interface version to 1.2. This version when set signifies that the
control ioctl should ignore the irq number passed in and enable the
interrupt handler for the attached device. Otherwise it errors out when
the passed-in irq is not equal to the device's.
- Store the highest version the interface has been set to in the device.
- Fix a recursion on DRM_LOCK in irq_uninstall on FreeBSD. This leaves
irq_uninstall being done without the lock in some cases, but it was
racey anyways.
