[Nouveau] [PATCH 0/4] nvfx: rework render temps code and fixes

[Marek Olšák]

HI everyone,

first, I am not subscribed to the nouveau mailing list, so please CC
me if you need anything.

I pushed the whole series because there was no feedback on mesa-dev
for like 5 days. If you want to revert it, just let me know and I'll
do it.
