Feature owner(s): Alon Levy <alevy@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently the QXL driver is X.org only, a KMS driver is required to move 
forward with projects like spice 3D, and also to allow more features to be 
show in virt environments like plymouth. 

== Detailed description ==
The current spice GPU driver for Linux guests is an X.org only driver. A 
kernel modesetting driver needs to be developed along with a new X.org driver 
that runs on top of it. Additionally the kernel driver will allow it to work 
with the modesetting DDX driver. The new ioctl interface the driver will 
expose will allow updating the qxl DDX driver to work on it. The new driver 
needs to support all revisions of the qxl device. 

Btw. Feature has been already proposed as Fedora 18 feature but was postponed 
for Fedora 19.
