Can we stop adding new entries to the kernel hwdb and start to
establish a hwdb in the userspace aka mesa?
The kernel provides all the needed information to the user space so
"all" that's left is to add the mesa side. You might
ask why? It is much simpler to maintain such a database in the user
space (thanks to stable patch releases of mesa) than
forcing users to update their kernels to get this new database entry.
