This is just an idea that might or might not be a good idea, it basically adds two ioctls to create a dumb and map a dumb buffer suitable for scanout. The handle can be passed to the KMS ioctls to create a framebuffer. It looks to me like it would be useful in the following cases: a) in development drivers - we can always provide a shadowfb fallback. b) libkms users - we can clean up libkms a lot and avoid linking to libdrm_*. c) plymouth via libkms is a lot easier. Userspace bits would be just calls + mmaps. We could probably mark these handles somehow as not being suitable for acceleartion so as top stop people who are dumber than dumb.
