Any news on this? I haven't taken this into account in

http://penguinppc.org/~daenzer/DRI/radeon-memory-transition.diff

which is my first take on this. As discussed before, this should handle
any combination of new and old components gracefully, in particular it
fixes up the client state in the DRM if necessary (and in the process
always checks them and returns an error if they lie outside the
framebuffer or GART apertures), so old 3D drivers work with the new 2D
driver and DRM.


Feedback appreciated,
