In the current proposal for the new packet based format, we have a single PC (which we don't use right now). we could define a read/write packet as: address + value + r/w mode + (optionally) any number of PC's. the number of PC's is indicated by the packet length in the packet header. This we save a bit when we don't need the PC and support any number of PC's at the same time. Tools that don't make use of the PC's can simply skip them. (there are also pending issues, like whether we need to support 64 bit values) jaap. _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
