Seems like I forgot to state the obvious - for all the reasons
mentioned, the armsoc ddx seems like a bad example.

I'm afraid that my RockChip-foo is extremely limited. Perhaps the
actual user of these should be mentioned ? xf86-video-rockhip (is
there one ?) or any other effort/project that lacks some (all?) of the
criticism listed.

(Sort of) the bottom line - either reuse the existing interfaces or
provide an approved, full blown userspace (libdrm demos/programs do
not count) that uses the new interfaces.

I haven't made these rules, just a fool^Wguy that repeats them so that
people don't abuse them much. If in doubt check with Dave and Daniel V
- they had enough repeating these.
