v2: Squash in "drm/i915/bdw: Add BDW to the HAS_DDI check" as suggested by Damien. v3: Squash in VEBOX enabling from Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> v4: Rebase on top of Jesse's patch to extract all pci ids to include/drm/i915_pciids.h. v4: Replace Halo by its marketing moniker Iris. Requested by Ben. v5: Switch from info->has*ring to info->ring_mask. v6: Add 0x16X2 variant (which is newer than this patch) Rename to use new naming scheme (Chris) Remove Simulator PCI ids. These snuck in during rebase (Chris) v7: Fix poor sed job from v6 Make the desktop variants use the desktop macro (Rebase error). Notice that this makes no functional difference - it's just confusing.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
