There's a set of commits that implement an earlier draft here:

    https://github.com/thierryreding/linux/tree/for-5.6/drm-tegra-destage-abi

and corresponding changes to libdrm to make use of that and implement
tests using the various generations of VIC here:

    https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~tagr/drm/log/

Before actually jumping to an implementation we wanted to go over the
design a bit more to avoid wasting a lot of work, like we've done in
the past. Turns out it isn't easy to get everyone to agree on a good
ABI. Who would've thought? =)

I expect that once the discussion around the ABI settles Mikko will
start on implementing this ABI in the kernel and we'll update the
libdrm patches to make use of the new ABI as well.
