So, given that this apparently causes so much work for you: would it
not be easier in the long run (as well as vastly more sensible) to
work on KMS support so you don't need to maintain a forked driver from
now until forever?

Cool, that sounds like a good plan to me.  Who's going to do it? Has
anybody actually got this hardware in a multiple domain machine, with
the time to do it? Can you say with a straight face that you expect to
see patches porting them to libpciaccess with full multiple domain
support within the next release cycle? Within the next year?

I know it might sound like I'm trolling, but these are entirely
serious questions.

Cheers,
Daniel
