Michel Hermier reported libdrm segfault (and kernel crash) on nv40 using
gallium :
http://www.mail-archive.com/nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org/msg06563.html
It turns out these were caused by some missing WAIT_RING (or wrong
computation of the WAIT_RING sizes). Unlike all other libdrm_nouveau users,
nvfx gallium tried to use a mininum calls of WAIT_RING, one WAIT_RING could
apply to many methods for different code paths and spread across several
functions. This made it too tricky to find out what the missing or wrong
WAIT_RING was.
By restoring BEGIN_RING, we force one WAIT_RING per method, and it's much
easier to check if the free size required in the pushbuffer is correct. As
curro said, "let's keep it simple for the maintainers until the big
bottlenecks are gone"
Benchmarked on nv35 with openarena, nexuiz and ut2004 and no performance
regression.
The core of this patch was made with Coccinelle, with minor manual fixes
made on top.

This is the new register generation toolkit in use by nouveau.
As far as I know, this is the best register description toolkit in
existence, and you should use it too for your hardware :)
Thanks to Marcin Kościelnicki for inventing it and performing
invaluable reverse engineering work of nVidia chips.

Should fix errors on the original nv30, reported by pmdata.

Not sure why this mostly works.

This is a full rewrite of the drawing and buffer management logic.
It offers a lot of improvements:
1. A copy of buffers is now always kept in system memory. This is
necessary to allow software processing of them, which is necessary
or improves performance in many cases.
2. Support for pushing vertices on the FIFO, with index lookup if necessary.
3. "Smart" draw code that tries to intelligently choose the cheapest
way to draw something: whether to use inline vertices or hardware
vertex buffer, and whether to use hardware index buffers
4. Support for all vertex formats supported by the hardware
5. Usage of translate to push vertices, supporting all formats that are
sensible to use as vertex formats
6. Support for base vertex
7. Usage of Ben Skeggs' primitive splitter originally for nv50, allowing
correct splitting of line loops, triangle fans, etc.
8. Support for instancing
9. Precomputation using the vertex elements CSO
Thanks to Ben Skeggs for his primitive splitter originally for nv50.
Thanks to Christoph Bumiller for his nv50 push code, that was the basis
of this work, even though I changed his code dramatically, in particular
to replace his ad-hoc vertex data emitter with translate.
The changes could also go into nv50 too, but there are substantial
differences due to the additional nv50 hardware features.
