Hi Dan,

Summarising and stating some unsaid assumptions.

Assumptions:
 - The proposed solution is a replacement of the wrapped drivers
approach. No, it's meant to introduce an API mostly gears towards
DRI_PRIME setups.
 - Wrapped drivers will/could/should be done outside the SoC world
(i.e. with DRI_PRIME). No, that was never the case.

To sum it all up, I believe most/all of us think that tightly coupled
devices (such as SoC) should be a wrapped driver. For the rest, an API
providing explicit control to the programmer, based on EGLDevice,
sounds like a good approach.

Regards,
Emil
