Hi Matt,

For cross-subsystem changes such as this, it makes sense to Cc all
relevant maintainers, especially if there have been previous comments to
earlier revisions.

Please, do include and keep a reference to the userspace portion of the
changes when you suggest new uAPI to be added. At least I have some trouble
trying to track down the relevant interface consumer here.

I'm unsure how much sense it makes to commence with detailed i915 review
if we will be blocked by lack of userspace after that? I'm assuming
you've read through [1] already.

Regards, Joonas
