[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v3] docs: expand "all drivers" to the list of drivers.

[Romain Failliot]

Hi Emil!

Actually this patch is less about mesamatrix and more about cleaning
the file (IMO).
By replacing "all drivers" with the actual list of drivers, I've
noticed that it was easier to see which drivers are actually completed
or not.

I also think this will be problematic when new drivers are added. I've
heard about OpenSWR recently that is apparently an alternative to
llvmpipe, I guess this driver could be added in this file, doesn't it?
Here, the "all drivers" lines will activate GL extensions for this new
driver whether it's true or not.

I completely understand that this file is mainly meant for the devs.
But from what I've seen, even the devs themselves aren't sure about
the meaning of some lines in this file (I remember previous emails
where I asked the difference between "DONE" and "DONE ()" and not
everyone agreed on the signification ;)). So, to me, structuring this
file is not just for mesamatrix but also for the global understanding
of everyone.

I hope I'll be of more help in the future. Right now it's GL3.txt and
mesamatrix, later it might be drivers optimizations ;)

Cheers!
