Hey,

Probably mostly for Ben, but I had this idea that it might be possible
to write a userspace wrapper for the binary driver that run as root
could be used to do the card init for the current or even a fake GPU
then produce traces to pull the firmwares out.

Not sure how insane it is, vs having to mmiotrace, but I just thought
I'd see if anyone had considered it.


Dave.
