We do noodle around in there for the oddball memory controller setting and for some display stuff. But neither of that really applies to paravirtualized hw. And if there's any case like that we should patch it out (like we do with some of the runtime pm code already). -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
