Care to elaborate why you think this is trying to avoid anything? Mikko
pointed you at the documentation for these engines, provided a link to
an open-source (albeit work in progress) userspace driver and posts an
extension to an existing DRM driver to add the required kernel
functionality. That's a standard approach for submitting this kind of
driver.
