Most of the code is driver independent. postinit will need to be implemented for each DRM driver. postinit marks the hardware in use to the kernel and adds the permanent DRM maps for framebuffer and registers. I've implemented postinit for the radeon.
Will the DRM still build for the other drivers without postinit?
It will build but it won't work. To make it work I would have to relax the restriction about X not being able to change the DRM AddMaps for registers/framebuffers. Can we try to get all of the driver to implement postinit, it's only about 10 lines of code.
Here's a question that just occured to me. What are the compatiblity issues? By that I mean, which "old" drivers will continue to work with this modified DRM? If a user upgrades to a kernel with this new code, will 2D keep working (I assume yes)? 3D?
