NetBSD already has DRM/KMS support. It's implementing all the same calls as linux.
Making linux programs running under COMPAT_LINUX aware of this requires some glue.

Similarly, running 32-bit programs on a 64-bit host requires some glue code.
The 32bit glue code is already written for Linux, so can be a source of inspiration.

Milestones:

• Create a setup so that a linux glxgears/glxinfo can be tested (software acceleration should already work)
• Create glue so linux DRM ioctls are understood as NetBSD DRM ioctls, with no modification.
• Test a bigger program
• Create a setup for 32bit glxgears/glxinfo.
• Adapt linux 32bit compat code, being inspired by existing 32bit compat.
• Try to run a bigger program, like 32-bit NetBSD Firefox.
