How does this help them accomplish Optimus?
I thought it was GPL issues that were the primary stumbling block.

Does this have any negative effects compared to simply using DMA_BUFF?
Next goal. KMS and I will cream myself.

Actually, one should hope he does (in some way).
That would probably clear up the legal situation once for all.

Although I like having open-source infrastructures, when it comes to the end user it doesn't really matter that much whether their GPU driver is os or not. In my opinion the only way we could achieve this is if NVIDIA and other hardware producers would decide to contribute to os drivers themselves(tegra coms to mind); reverse engineering is remarkable but not really sustainable, especially for complex hardware such as GPUs.
PS. I hope Alan Cox and friends won't throw a tantrum over this just for the sake of suing somebody, considering NVIDIA actually implemented this functionality themselves.

Hopefully, nvidia already has most of thier optimus work done on thier end and once these helpers are in place, we'll have a beta release with support next day.
Also, lets hope that Alan Cox doesn't go and threaten to sue everyone rampage again and "cox block" the helpers as well.

Finally. It's easy for Linus to say fuck you to Nvidia when the kernel developers works against them by being shitheads.
Now Nvidia should be able to create optimus support.
