I've been doing some testing and it seems that glyphs (typically smaller than a page size on nv50) render slow'ish sometimes, mostly due to the many trips to the kernel (drm_addmap_core is the symbol that shows up). Ofcource this was a benchmark, but it does leave me wondering, do we really need need to call the kernel for every little pixmap? Also from a memory point of view, because a single page can theoretically contain 32 pixmaps. Is it problematic to combine small allocations into at least a single page?
