There's also Dave's render node work which has been picked up by Ilija: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2012-April/021326.html The basic idea is that you can allocate display resources to separate drm device nodes and then run separate userspace stacks on top of each one or submit rendering/compute commands to a render-only node.
