We have to do this manually. Somebody had a Great Idea. I've measured speed-ups just a few percent above the noise level (below 5% for the best case), but no slowdows. Chris Wilson measured quite a bit more (10-20% above the usual snb variance) on a more recent and better tuned version of sna, but also recorded a few slow-downs on benchmarks know for uglier amounts of snb-induced variance. v2: Incorporate Ben Widawsky's preliminary review comments and elaborate a bit about the performance impact in the changelog. v3: Add a comment as to why we don't need to check the 3rd memory channel. v4: Fixup whitespace.

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:
