This is getting a bit off-topic, but separate winsys seems like an
extra level of indirection without a purpose..

(That said, I have played around a bit w/ fakedrm[1] to profile or
debug crashes on x86..  really the big problem there is that dri code
really wants to load "i965" since that is what the xserver tells it..
and I never remember all the places I have to bodge up to hack around
that..  a MESA_REALLY_LOAD_THIS_OTHER_DRIVER=msm, or something like
that might be nice..)

BR,
