[Dri-devel] drm_count_cards....?

[Alan H. <al...@fa...>]

While I've been merging the trunk into the bsd-2-0-0 branch I've noticed
the drm_count_cards function which trundles through the PCI device list
looking for the cards and initializes each one it finds, also forcing
at least one instance if it doesn't find any...?

I did something similar to what David has done with this with probing for
single and dual MX chips in the gamma driver a while ago, and talking with
Rik he didn't like this idea.

Shouldn't we add an IOCTL, so that the DDX 2D driver can pass this
information to the drm kernel module and only initialize the chips it's
told to ?
