Very interesting, I certainly would be delighted if this was implemented.

All GATOS drivers need is that framebuffer was moved outside of system
RAM. Nothing more.

As Keith rightly points out, when one uses ioctl it would be hard to make
3d driver to understand that the aperture moved.

I would suggest adding more ioctls:

    1. Lock the drm driver against future connections from 3d driver(s).

    2. Return the number of current connections.

    3. Move the aperture - should only succeed when nothing else is connected.

Also, when aperture is moved DRM driver can simply refuse connection to
older 3d drivers.

                      best
