Last news I had on April 21th :
4:58 PM Luca: the temporary code somehow breaks nv3x
4:59 PM me: so that blocks the rest, I thought the rest could be
merged without that
 Luca: perhaps

Which referred to this commit :
commit fac5e2d54f7b6f6eac9b96ad14263ebc4ca93832

    nvfx: rewrite render temporaries code, also affecting 2D and resource code

    This commit rewrites the render temporaries code to make it actually robust
    and try to make it perform decently.

    It also significantly affects how miptrees and the 2D code work.



I could try to test again this week that merging origin/nvfx-next-6b
without the above commit does not break anything on nv35.
It sure fixed a lot of things, especially all the 2D work.
