To be brutally honest, this was done before
(http://libv.livejournal.com/19432.html), as part of my, soon, 10y
old struggle to get rid of the ludicrous dependency on video bioses (it
seems ludicrous now, but i once was on my own with this view). But this
was on (now) much less interesting hw, namely VIA chipsets. And if only
AMD hadn't lost control over ATI, we would've easily had it with
discrete ATI cards too 6 years ago (as we had reduced the BIOS
dependency to only a few hundred lines of board specific bootstrap
code).
But good to see this work being done now on recent IGPs.
