Lois-Francis,
Thanks for taking a crack at this! There are a couple other people (I put
them in the Cc) who have talked about doing this so thank you for sending
the announcement!
My primary request as you dive into this would be that you do things in
such a way that we can have a fairly tight feedback loop. I think both Ken
and myself have a pretty clear idea of what things should look like when
you're done and I'd like to avoid any chance that you send a 50 patch
series and then get told to go back through the whole thing and make some
mechanical change.
One other comment: look at blorp. It's already using genxml with the i965
driver although there's a but of an abstraction layer there. It should
give you a decent idea about how to make a brw_emit() macro by combining
things and removing the abstraction.

Hi,
As to avoid any duplicate work, I want to inform everyone that I'm in
the process of modifying the i965 driver so that it uses the same
genxml infrastructure that the one used by the Intel Vulkan driver. The
task has been proposed by Jason Ekstrand.
I will probably post my first patchset today that will contain the
basic call to replace the BEGIN_BATCH/ADVANCE_BATCH macros and the XML
specification files for generations 4, 4.5 and 5.
Let me know if you have any question or suggestion related to this
work.
