[Nouveau] SERIALIZE command

[Albert Vilella]

Hi all,

Has anything changed since this email that will make OpenCL support in
nouveau easier?

I would like to compile some information about the different steps
needed to have OpenCL support for Nouveau (and the ATI open-source
drivers for that matters) so that people interested in this issue can
have a starting document to read.

Cheers,

Albert.
