My first reaction was 'no way'. But then I thought about possible users
of this code and I cannot see anyone relying on it. You'd need an
ancient userspace Mesa library plus the most recent kernel. And all the
rendering is OpenGL 1.x. Are there even Linux programs for that?
So as far as I'm concerned
Acked-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@...e.de>
DRM's legacy infrastructure could be kept for a few more releases. Just
in case one of the drivers makes a comeback.
There is code in nouveau that uses legacy functionality for its ancient
userspace. I think we should scrap that as well. (See
NOUVEAU_LEGACY_CTX_SUPPORT.)
