Are you going to continue to work on the driver? There are still some pretty bad bugs including ones that are affecting Collabora's test labs. Unless you want to try to tackle it some other way, I'm going to keep pushing for something like my original series to land. I can re-post them atop your patches since they've landed. This will regress your performance but correctness trumps performance. -Doug
