[PATCH] drm: Add a driver for kvm emulated Cirrus

[Alan Cox]

So has this been benchmarked - intuitively I'd agree and expect that a
shadowfb driver ought to give best performance.

For real hardware at least you should check that the pci resource is at
least 4Mb long before doing this, otherwise the resulting progression in
the fail case is that you map some other device into user address space,
which isn't good!

If you switch back from 16 does this not need clearing ?
