 First of all, for fun and to educate myself ! Secondly, I found that
xf86-video-armada was pretty complex. I wanted to do something simpler
using existing higher level EXA API. Finally, when we started to work on
that with Tomi two years ago, the armada driver looked unmaintained and I
failed to get the DRI3/present part working. So it was actually easier to
work together using a brand new driver since we share the same hardware
(Beagleboard X15).
