The big issue with first batch, is that it may not be RCS and so not define the golden state and requires the user to do something for us to save power. The other approach is for the powersaving to send the batch itself if it needs it. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
