Hey Oded,
So this creates a driver with a userspace facing API via ioctls.
Although this isn't a "GPU" driver we have a rule in the graphics
drivers are for accelerators that we don't merge userspace API with an
appropriate userspace user.
https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/gpu/drm-uapi.html#open-source-userspace-requirements
I see nothing in these accelerator drivers that make me think we
should be treating them different.
Having large closed userspaces that we have no insight into means we
get suboptimal locked for ever uAPIs. If someone in the future creates
an open source userspace, we will end up in a place where they get
suboptimal behaviour because they are locked into a uAPI that we can't
change.
Dave.
