What i965 bottlenecks would still exist if we fixed memcpy and I830WaitSync?

[Carl Worth]

Here's a note I've written up on trying to determine what bottlenecks
would still exist in the case of EXA+i965 if a couple of the recent
problems I identified were first fixed:

	http://www.cworth.org/exa/i965/emulating_speedups/

I'd be quite interested in any details on current work toward fixing
those existing problems. The things I mention are:

 * Glyphs pinned in system memory, (Keith says he's working on a fix
   for this)

 * Artificial separation of system and video memory on i965 (memcpy
   pain). I'm told that the TTM work will fix this. Where can I find
   status on that work or perhaps find how I could help?

 * Excessive waiting in the i965 driver. I can hopefully mitigate much
   of this with some simple caching, (reducing the waiting to happen
   only every N operations instead of on every operation). Eliminating
   the waiting altogether would be even better---but I'd need some
   advice on how to do that. Anybody have that?

If anyone has any other feedback on these, (or the subsequent problems
that will also need to be fixed as I describe in the post linked to
above), I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

-Carl
