[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Use hash tables for the command parser

Volkin, Bradley D bradley.d.volkin at intel.com
Wed May 7 18:34:50 CEST 2014


Could someone help to review this patch please? It provides a nice
improvement to the command parser's performance, so I'd like to get
this one in.

Thanks,
Brad
