Duplicating code, fake_irq obviousness and simplicity?!?
To start with:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c | 28 ++++++++--------------------
1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-)
So less code, less binary text, less stack space, less kernel API usage
so also fewer cycles to execute (not that it matters here but hey), and
easier to understand logic.
So really I don't know what you don't like about it.
Regards,
Tvrtko
