Rene,

Please note that _nothing_ is implied by the message. It's straight out facts.
If you think the message is misleading, please send a patch to improve it.

As mentioned in our email chat, what do other drivers when their prerequisites
are not met ? Using a similar approach in mesa would be better imho.

On the topic of detecting the first [working] implementation I'll repeat my
earlier decision - shouldn't this information be provided by the Vulkan layers
?

Or at least having a common way _fully documented as part of the spec_ to do it
on all platforms/drivers is what we want here, right ?
Probing the system for NV-CONTROL/other brings vendor specific 'hacks' which I
afaict was against the ideas behind Vulkan ?
