New PCI command parser. Moved from via_dma.c to via_verifier.c so functions
with similar functionality are close to eachother.
Moved video related functions to via_video.c, which might be extended in
the future, as new video functionality is added.
New device-specific generic IRQ IOCTL, similar to the general VBLANK IOCTL,
but with support for multiple device IRQ sources and functionality.
Support for Unichrome Pro PM800/CN400 video DMA commands in verifier and
PCI parser.
Support for Unichrome Pro PM800/CN400 HQV IRQs in the new generic IRQ
IOCTL.
Bumped minor. New version 2.6.0.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
