If Imre is happy with plonking this here, Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Or at least good enough for now and can be improved upon? -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
