Was technical reviewer assigned by the project sponsor ? I looked very quickly over the whole patch, I only enumerate the things that catched my eye: dev/vt/hw/intel.c is sort of joke, it should be removed. I am very suspicious to what you do in the drm_fb_helper.c with enqueuing, but I need to do much more reading of the code to say something definitive. Intel GPU might provide relatively wide range of the pixel formats, I do not see a code to parse and use these formats. Overall code looks relatively self-contained, so I think you indeed might merge it to head after some public testing and review. But I very much doubt that 10.0 is feasible for any efforts. --Ah9ph+G2cWRpKogL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (FreeBSD) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSapI5AAoJEJDCuSvBvK1BsWQQAI8DxCIXbSt7n1HdPLalTyXL KHCmXzVjhwgyrtUh8YxNifRVsMoH5d1gJmiigiFge5QibmvzKSnjYRYlccCzZ3Zf bpc/D2VYfQ4lr5x2b8VMjiFeaHqlplnRBDG4U9W4aYa1Iz2ONz+aQpeVq6IS7OLb 9AGdS2Ni8U03Vhiptd6gsRwgbNmu8A2x/WfrD74XsZv9SZeuyrTMkHJhsl2qs6r3 ZMQQQryt3pt+Q8f9losgN+tyMrM0J5Ia7fD57o79hD1X5CpBuaClVxJ2ua+006kU uviRvUg4Z7QewJdme2Pw0jKlvULX3w7Rjh2FjaJvBB5xTC7ALVbxqhfXRYFHJBY5 53XwQcbcyrOFpDCXjxkJUC7y7gVz9yCiU7N+amcJg7YS7wRW8bGLt4u4or5MUsBZ GPnK1XRgMW6EOJ1kBpow6/1AvLlh1EZvLCIcr5cqCCpwf4ulQp2Bzp14EUYGuvBV fUIrpqaN5hezyCLcCcIBN5rCGwDHEmsaPRfCaXibfHEdhq0mye1E4n5uDp8KJOox fbGmUZXPANGyjd9HTyFWEb57XG75gqq1B5f0QxTjU0mwsvw3WftlG5GZj4MAYqG0 D2z2cQt2pFRFyG3zNoCpc5Hpz6qzUFTMsW7CJIfAyHsR5FPXRDX8HntMXiZvzR+V Pi5WrJkG+xYuzQlc+0pS =WrEA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Ah9ph+G2cWRpKogL--
