Look at it from mainline's perspective.. - We don't (can't) care about non-mainline stuff. Actually we do care, but we can't add code to mainline which is not going to be used by any mainline user. - I am fine with introducing the new API, but that will happen only if there is going to be a mainline user as well. - As you are going to maintain your GPU driver offline, you can maintain this patch too.
