GB aware mesa userspace drivers are detected by the fact that they are
calling the vmw getparam ioctl querying DRM_VMW_PARAM_HW_CAPS to detect
whether the device is Guest-backed object capable. For other drivers,
lie about hardware version and send the 3D capabilities in a format they
expect.
v2:
Use DRM_VMW_PARAM_MAX_MOB_MEMORY to detect gb awareness,
Make sure we don't ovwerwrite bounce buffer or write past user-space buffer
indicated size.

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:
