Hi,
- virtio_gpu_pci_quirk():
- what is the explicit framebuffer removal about ?
unregister boot framebuffer (typically efifb or vesafb on x86).
why is it necessary to rename the device with "pci:" prefix ?
does it only work w/ pci transport ? what's the background of this ?
IIRC an Xorg hardware probing quirk.
- shouldn't we add some endianess handshake to the protocol ?
Doable, but worth the effort? Which bigendian hardware platform has hardware-accelerated mesa opengl drivers? With even ppc moving to le these days s390x is the only relevant bigendian platform left, and it isn't exactly famous for their graphics performance ;)
take care, Gerd
