Hey, for the st/vega stuff that should just be a matter of creating
util_* functions and stuffing them somewhere inside aux/util/.

For the other two I think that José and Kristian where talking about
moving the aux/os stuff from gallium and into src/os so that it could
be shared between mesa/gallium/egl. Should that be done I think the
remaining two would fit into there.

José, Kristian still plans for this? Is this somebody with to much
time on their hands can take care of?

Cheers Jakob.
