Chris Wilson d20d167a75 sna: Upload to large pixmaps inplace
When the pixmap is large, larger than L2 cache size, we are unlikely to
benefit from first copying the data to a shadow buffer -- as that shadow
buffer itself will mostly reside in main memory. In such circumstances
we may as perform the write to the GTT mapping of the GPU bo. As such,
it is a fragile heuristic that may require further tuning.

Avoiding that extra copy gives a 30% boost to putimage500/shmput500 at
~10% cost to putimage10/shmput10 on Atom (945gm/PineView), without any
noticeable impact upon cairo.

http://www.intellinuxgraphics.com/

What is xf86-video-intel
------------------------
The xf86-video-intel module is an open-source 2D graphics driver for
the X Window System as implemented by X.org. It supports a variety of
Intel graphics chipsets including:

	i810/i810e/i810-dc100,i815,
	i830M,845G,852GM,855GM,865G,
	915G/GM,945G/GM/GME,946GZ
	G/GM/GME/Q965,
	G/Q33,G/Q35,G41,G/Q43,G/GM/Q45
	PineView-M (Atom N400 series)
	PineView-D (Atom D400/D500 series)

Where to get more information about the driver
