[PATCH 2/8] dal: remove some unused wrappers

I am not 100% sure. 
E.g.  http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel-win10-mesa121&num=1

In general Intel driver under Linux is still  behind MS Windows 
version.

Hey there, Tom.

Seems my "ignoring the heat around DC/DAL ..." wasn't enough and
things have gone there :-(

Cutting down to the important piece...

That doesn't really work in practice or theory.  The kernel team has  standards that AMD has to meet but the process to get there won't always make everyone happy.

Intel has managed to get there and it would be amazing if the whole
AMD team paves in that direction. It's not quick or easy route, yet
you can use any of the materials (presentations, etc.) from Daniel
Vetter's blog.

I'm stupid^Wnice enough to repeat one unwritten rule(?) in a hope that
people who do not know it will take note.
And yes, rules are _not_ mean to be all fun all/most of the time :-\

To reiterate in a different light: upstream kernel should not (and
does not most of the time) cater for non-upstream kernel code.


Thanks
