Re: Updated drm code
i have merged arto's work with netbsd -current.
i've tested it on a radeon 9000-m card (r200) and it works
fine. infact, it works better -- glxgears got a 20% speed
up. i haven't pushed it hard yet.
FreeBSD code has some optimizations that I think should be
adapted to NetBSD. I don't know how much of a difference they
would make, but at least some would serve to reduce diffs:
- FreeBSD has fls, ffsl and flsl on libkern. flsl is
used to implement drm_order() in drm_bufs.c.
I think importing those functions from FreeBSD should
be very simple?
- FreeBSD supports mapping device pages with write combining.
See drm_memory.c. I guess bus_space could be adapted to
support it with some new flags?
- Newer radeons have Message Signaled Interrupts, and
drm code base supports it. I couldn't find support for
them in NetBSD, but didn't look hard.
