Abstract:

Make the dom0 kernel use and provide drm(4) support. This will enable 3d acceleration within of dom0, making it more reasonable to run a dom0 instead of GENERIC for a workstation that also supports domUs.

Deliverables:

Functioning X server using native kernel-style drmkms support. This must function at least in a PVH style dom0 kernel.

Implementation:

• mtrr support for Xen
• high memory RAM extent allocation needs special attention (See: kern/49330)
• native driver integration and testing.
