      drm: Add GEM ("graphics execution manager") to i915 driver. · 673a394b
      Eric Anholt 提交于
      GEM allows the creation of persistent buffer objects accessible by the
      graphics device through new ioctls for managing execution of commands on the
      device.  The userland API is almost entirely driver-specific to ensure that
      any driver building on this model can easily map the interface to individual
      driver requirements.
      
      GEM is used by the 2d driver for managing its internal state allocations and
      will be used for pixmap storage to reduce memory consumption and enable
      zero-copy GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, and in the 3d driver is used to enable
      GL_EXT_framebuffer_object and GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object.
