Personally I would start from scratch. In fact some years (*cough* decade) ago I did just that and started writing a new driver for matrox stuff. Unfortunately I ran out of steam after figuring out most of the interesting hardware quirks and whatnot, so I never finished it. The end result is that it still runs in userspace but kinda looks like a kernel driver if you squint a bit.
Anyways, I just slapped a MIT license on it dumped the whole thing here: https://gitlab.com/syrjala/mga The development history was, shall we say, not really useful so I just squashed it.
You, or someone else, might find it interesting. I think in terms of hardware support it's a superset of any other driver, apart from the blob.
