I am just getting a crazy idea here.
Would it make life easier if a hyper visor was implemented in the GPU, so all API calls goes through the hypervisor first? I.e. only the closed source driver can access the DRM stuff.
On the Playstation3 only a subset of the hardware is available for Linux.
I don't expect anyone from AMD to answer this, as that could probably get them in trouble. But for everyone else. Couldn't that be done?
