drm_prime.c helpers (not the core bits) exist becaues nvidia needed something that wasnt EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. I wouldn't shed a big tear if they don't fit anymore, they're kinda not great to begin with. Much midlayer, not much of valued added, but at least the _GPL is gone. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
