LinuxDC list of things TODO

- Talk to NIIBE Yutaka <gn...@m1...> about merging our changes into
  the LinuxSH kernel.  This would have the cool side effect of our code going
  straight to Linus :).  At this point it doesn't make since to set it up
  where we don't do this.  Someone just needs to talk to NIIBE about
  merging.

- Find out why the 8139too driver is dropping/losing/munging received frames
  (so far transmitted frames seem OK).  I'm thinking that either things are
  coming into fast from the bus, or vice versa (meaning that rx buffers are
  overlapping or something even more obscure).  So ethernet works, but NFS
  (the intial mount) seems slow, but "small" protocols like BOOTP and ICMP
  have no trouble whatsoever.  Other protocols (I would love ssh) need to be
  tested.  But overall, the cause of the screwed-up frames needs to be found
  and fixed.

- Hmm, the FB driver is SLOW!!  I should've known, given all the warnings on
  dcdev about how not to use the PVR as a framebuffer, but to use the TA for
  2D operations, etc.  The current impl. is pure mem access, it doesn't even
  think about store queues or DMA write access.  We need to start thinking
  about acceleration as well as a accel. driver interface (think /dev/pvr as
  in /dev/opengl on SGIs).  This would facilitate a port of Mesa.
