Whatever works is good. Something like a "direct state tracker" would be required if we ever wanted to export a stable Gallium API. This is because Gallium *will* change, but we want the API to be stable, so the "direct state tracker" would start off as a direct mapping between the API and Gallium, but as Gallium evolves, the state-tracker would grow to map between the stable and current versions of Gallium. Note that the Direct state tracker has already been written -- more or less it is just what's in drivers/identity...
