OK.

My first aim is to have the dove-drm in the mainline. These devices
could be added later, as the ac'97, gpu and vpu. Also, rotating the
image is not very useful when your monitor cannot rotate! (I wonder if
such monitors still exist as the one I used on a MAC in the 80's)

But, anyway, I may do it. The only problem is that dcon and ire are
sharing the same irq. How should I declare that?

Bug. Thanks.

OK.

BTW, I am ready to upload a new version of the dove-drm on my site. It
now uses the dt for getting the hdmi encoder. Do you prefer I or you do
the merge?
