OK. So basically what I'm asking is that when we have full-feathered 
open source drivers available that
utilize TTM, either as part of DRM core, or, if needed, as part of 
driver-specific code, do you see anything
else that prevents that from being pushed? That would be very valuable 
to know for anyone starting porting work. ?
