>From a high level, PRIME mainly affects presentation, not so much the
video decoding / rendering. The important thing is that the buffer used
for presentation via the Present extension is linear, not tiled. I'm not
sure whether it makes more sense to allocate a separate linear buffer
for this purpose, as is done for GLX, or for the vl code to make the
corresponding back (or front?) buffer linear in the first place.
