[Mesa-dev] [RFC PATCH 00/40] Rework/consolidate the pipe-loader business

[Emil Velikov]

Hi all,

Here goes a series (which is slightly overdue), that reworks the 
target-helpers into a pipe-loader like interface. As such the 
state-tracker do not need to know that there is a difference between the 
two and it only uses the pipe-loader interface.

As we have the chance to build the targets with either static or dynamic 
pipe-drivers, we need to add/more the inline drm (target helpers) to a 
non-inlined version. Additionally we rework the swrast pipe-driver to 
include the winsys, just like its hardware brethren.

Finally I haven't exposed a configure switch to toggle between the 
static/dynamic pipe-drivers, as I'm wondering if we should keep it as 
"toggle all drivers to static/dynamic" or "one per target". I'm leaning 
towards the former.

I'm sending these as RFC mostly because I haven't got around to testing 
it yet (plus the occasional question in the commit message).


Note; the series contains a fair few cleanups and refactoring along the 
way which can be picked independently, if people feel strongly against 
the core idea.

Note2: the series is only build tested on scons+automake although I 
would expect the Android build to work like a charm.

Cheers,

P.S. Rob the Android symbol hack is a separate commit based on top of 
these.
