I haven't checked if the rest still makes sense. 5/5 was about why a  
driver who requests a dri2 swaplimit change should be called back to  
confirm it is ok with the swaplimit change, which you said seems  
totally redundant, right?

Ok, so we talk specifically about 4/5, which was reviewed by all of  
us, i think non-controversial, and a simple addition of a dri2  
swaplimit api.

Keith, what about that one for a start?

No. It just started as a private conversation with Jesse and  
"drifted" into this. cc'ing dri-devel, all that was said is in this  
mail.
