Library and interfaces for GPU offloading

[Werner Sembach]

Hello everyone,

currently GPU offloading on Linux is handled via environment variables. Which is 
a subpar experience for desktop files and might not be possible when using 
launchers (i.e. Steam, Lutris, Heroic, etc.) that have no explicit support for 
it without running the whole launcher permanently on the dGPU.

A proof of concept for a better solution is posted here: 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/glvnd/libglvnd/-/merge_requests/224 + 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/glvnd/libglvnd/-/merge_requests/228 , but it's 
stale since 3 years so I wanted to make a push for it.

Is there currently active work on this?

What is Mesas take on on the PoCs?
