Client persistence across GPU hotexchange

[Kosyrev Serge]

Good day, folks!

I'd like some light to be shed on the general area of GPU
hotplug/hotremoval, and in particular, on how this is supposed to affect
client persistence.

What is the state of multi-card output?

Is it possible to have drm_outputs replaced with (non-GL) clients surviving?

A specific scenario I have in mind is:

  - weston initially starts with an accelerated DRM device (#1)
  - some fairly pedestrian (plain GTK/Qt) clients start
  - a dumb framebuffer DRM device (#2) is hot-added
  - the accelerated device (#1) is removed

Is it possible to even express this with the current infrastructure?

What is the estimate for the survival of the clients, if so?
