Curios question, but why? The one thing that ttm does help you with is keeping track of buffer moves from/to discrete memory. You get that benefit at the cost of a nice midlayer which tends to get in the way. If all you do is map buffers into pagetables, then rolling your own (like e.g. etnaviv does) is I think much better: All the other ttm functionality (reservatsions, drm_mm allocation management, fences) has all been extracted and is available to any driver without ttm. -Daniel > - Use drm_sched for GPU task schedule.
