The DRM Graphics Driver Changes For Linux 3.14

David Airlie has sent in the much anticipated Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) graphics drivers changes for the Linux 3.14 kernel.

Among the Linux 3.14 DRM changes are:

- A new Bochs driver to be used by QEMU.

- The major VMware SVGA2 virtual GPU changes for VMware's next-generation virtual GPU used by their proprietary virtualization stack (while it may be for their closed-source software, at least they have a working 3D virtualization stack for VMs compared to Linux's continued lack of one for KVM/QEMU until Virgil3D is finally ready).

- Lots of Intel changes including official Broadwell hardware support, deprecating user-space mode-setting support, run-time D3 Haswell support, power-well work, and various bug-fixes.

- Nouveau, the open-source NVIDIA driver, will support new GeForce 700 series hardware with acceleration, continued work towards eventual power management / re-clocking, and overlay support for older hardware.

- The open-source AMD Radeon driver has more DPM support improvements including dynamic power management by default for newer Radeon HD R200 series / CIK GPUs by default and other fixes, and various bug-fixes.

- PRIME support inside the open-source NVIDIA Tegra driver and other fixes.

- Intel GMA500 Poulsbo fixes and work towards 2D acceleration support.

- Various fixes to the other DRM drivers.
