The trouble with this is you now have two things in the stack which can
be called 'the gallium driver', ie:
GL API
------
Core Mesa
------
Gallium Driver (formerly State Tracker)
------
Gallium API
------
Gallium Driver
------
Winsys, DRM, HW
I'd be happy to either leave this piece out of the proposed changes for
now, or to move it to mesa/drivers/state_tracker.
Basically I think we have a clear idea what to do with the rest of the
stack, probably we should just move ahead on that and either leave the
Mesa state tracker alone or only make minimal changes to it.
Leaving it out of this round of changes doesn't mean that we can't
move/rename it later -- because it's a part of mesa, changing it later
won't break or affect any other Gallium clients. It's really an
internal matter for Mesa where that code lives & what it's called.
