> Changes summary:
> - Given the small amout of video memory (4 MB) the cirrus device has
> the rewritten driver doesn't try to manage buffers there. Instead
> it will blit (memcpy) the active framebuffer to video memory.
> - All gem objects are stored in main memory and are manged using the
> new shmem helpers. ttm is out.
> - It supports RG16, RG24 and XR24 formats. XR24 gets converted to RG24
> or RG16 at blit time if needed, to avoid the pitch becoming larger
> than what the cirrus hardware can handle.
> - The simple display pipeline is used.
> - The generic fbdev emulation is used.
> - It's a atomic driver now.
> - It runs wayland.
