struct device -> struct drm_device: dev_get_drvdata()
struct pci_dev -> struc
I've been reading up on the device model and studying kernel sources for the
last couple of days, but I can't figure out how to get a pointer to the
radeon_device struct for a specific card, or the parent drm_device from an
external device driver.
I imagine I somehow need to take a reference to

In general a rather interesting idea and actually shouldn't be to hard
to implement.
The crux is that allocating memory is device driver dependent, so there
isn't a general purpose API for doing so.
Additional to that the CPU invisible VRAM is only accessible by the GPU
so you at least need to
I have a mostly* headless server containing a Radeon discrete GPU. Â It
occured to me that having a GiB or two of high speed memory sitting
unused is pretty wasteful. Not an original thought; indeed there's a
Gentoo wiki which describes how to map the memory as a mtd device:
