The dri/drm interface seems to be quite low-level. I heard somewhere that different devices have quite different registers and work in a quite different way. If it is true that it would be better to make a more high-level interface where every driver can do it's stuff as it needs. How much low/high-level should the interface be so you get the best performance out of these many different devices and don't have to make workarounds in the drivers. I have the impression that the newest cards have quite high-level chips interfaces (supporting shaders etc.).
