- This is _not_ a generic interface to create gem objects, but just an interface to make early boot services (like boot splash) with a generic KMS userspace driver possible. Hence it's better to move the documentation for this from the GEM section to the KMS section, next to the creation of framebuffer objects. - Make it really clear that the returned handle isn't necessarily a GEM object (it can also be e.g. a TTM handle when running on top of vmwgfx). - Add a paragraph to make it clear that this is just for unaccelarated userspace - gpu drivers need to have their own buffer object creation ioctl which is hardware specific. v2: Clarify that the documentation doesn't just apply to GEM-based drivers only but is now generally valid, as suggested by David. v3: Polish the intro sentence a bit and one s/objects/handles/ for clarification, both suggested by Laurent. v4: More text polish from Laurent's review. v5: More typo fixes from Dieter.
