I have tried it now: I'm sorry to say it does not work, fails with
(WW) xf86MapDomainMem(): mmap() failure: No such device or address
Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
The "mmap() failure" line is of course the one you're intentionally
showing, but the AddScreen/ScreenInit one is not what you want.
Presumably it demands something other than a NULL addr returned,
but I haven't followed that up at all.
I have tried the obvious patch below, which reverts to the original
code if the mmap fails: this works, but presumably negates much of
what you intended to achieve with legacy_mem.
Easy for me to try something else, fire away.
