[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 00/14] vl dri3 support for vaapi and vdpau

[Axel Davy]

Another comment:

What would solve your DRI_PRIME issues would also be
dma-buf fences.

While I believe thread_submit should be a bit better (because
it avoids a card stall waiting for another card to finish), dma-buf
fences make the two cards synchronize rendering properly.

I don't know much of the kernel details, but as I understand radeon and 
amdgpu support
the kernel interface for dma-buf fences, but intel not. You should be 
looking
to the intel team to implement the feature.
