device-specific code. A new Python script
(src/mesa/glapi/extension_helper.py) generates a list of all
entry-points for all known extensions. Each driver the selects only
the extensions that it needs and enables the via either
driInitExtensions or driInitSingleExtension.
This code has been compile-tested on a drivers, but has only been
run-tested on mga and i915 (on i830 hardware).
These changes were discussed at length on the mesa3d-dev mailing list.

Pixel count can be negative (this could be fixed elsewhere), so adapt the
functions to work with such inputs correctly (same behaviour as non-optimized
functions).

during fallbacks. In one case, _swsetup_Wakeup had just been called, covering
the need there, and in the other case, we can simply exit the entire
radeonChooseVertexState function, knowing that it will be called again once we
leave the fallback.

glTexImage3D that caused me so many problems during the re-development
of the API scripts reared its ugly head again. This has been fixed by
tracking the parameter string for each entry-point individually.
This has the annoying side-effect that the names of the parameters in
all aliases of a function must be the same or gl_apitemp.py will
generate bad code. :( The changes in
src/mesa/glapi/{gl_API.xml,glapitable.h} and src/glx/x11/* are caused
by fixing the parameter names in various function aliases that didn't
match.

span functions pass in a gl_renderbuffer to indicate which color
buffer should be drawn into. Optimized line/triangle routines are
smart enough to know which buffer to draw into as well.
The swrast->SetBuffer() routine should eventually be removed from
all drivers.
src/mesa/glapi. Basically, the scripts that did simple things (like
gl_offsets.py) were simple, and the scripts that did more complicated things
(like glX_proto_send.py) were getting progressively more and more out of
control. So, I re-write the foundation classes on which everything is based.
One problem with the existing code is that the division between the GL API
database representation and the way the output code is generated was either
blury or nonexistant. The new code somewhat follows the
Model-View-Controller pattern, minus the Controller. There is a distinct
set of classes that model the API data, and there is a distinct set of
classes that generate code from that data.
One big change is in the class that represents GL functions (was glFunction,
is now gl_function). There used to be an instance of this calls for each
function and for each alias to that function. For example, there was an
instance for PointParameterivSGIS, PointParameterivEXT, PointParameterivARB,
and PointParameteriv. In the new code, there is one instance. Each
instance has a list of entrypoint names for the function. In the next
revision, this will allow a couple useful things. The script will be able
to verify that the parameters, return type, and GLX protocol for a function
and all it's aliases match.
It will also allow aliases to be represented in the XML more compactly.
Instead of repeating all the information, an alias can be listed as:
<function name="PointParameterivARB" alias="PointParameterivEXT"/>
Because the data representation was changed, the order that the alias
functions are processed by the scripts also changed. This accounts for at
least 2,700 of the ~3,600 lines of diffs in the generated code.
Most of the remaining ~900 lines of diffs are the result of bugs *fixed* by
the new scripts. The old scripts also generated code with some bugs in it.
These bugs were discovered while the new code was being written.
These changes were discussed on the mesa3d-dev mailing list back at the end

Xorg bug: 3197, 3208
The driver appears to work reliably (i.e. lockup-free) with a card based
on this chip. However, I have not explored whether we could get anything
in terms of 3D performance "for free" just by setting some magic bits
in those registers that are still a mystery to us.
They are relative to the card's address space, not relative to fbLocation,
which will be important once we program MC_FB/AGP_LOCATION in the way
they are programmed on older Radeon chips.
