Linus Torvalds 09fa302261 Merge branch 'drm-radeon-sitn-support' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
Pull radeon southern islands / trinity support from Dave Airlie:
 "This is support from AMD for their newest GPU and APUs.  The products
  called RadeonHD 7xxx, and the Trinity APU series.

  This did come in a bit late, due to some over-complicated AMD internal
  review process, which from the outside seems unnecessary once the
  company has decided it wants to support open source.  However as I
  said previously I'd rather not put the people who've got this hw for 3
  months now being forced to use fglrx on it if there is open code.

  Its pretty well self contained and just plugs into the driver in
  various places."

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:
