This driver supports unaccelerated KMS display, and accelerated console
handling on the Intel Poulsbo, Oaktrail, Cedarview and Medfield hardware.

For the initial merge Medfield will be left out as it needs considerable
further work to reach a decent standard

Begin by adding the Makefiles and Kconfig. These are not yet plumbed into
the DRM layer so will have no effect on their own

Alan,

Good to see some of this old code being used.

I haven't followed this work closely, but I have a question:

The first poulsbos used to crash badly when attempting to map the GTT write-combined, and IIRC it didn't even advertise write-combining capabilities on the PCI BAR. Has this been improved on lately or how is this handled currently?

Thanks,
Thomas
