| This is a KMS driver for emulated cirrus device in qemu. | |
| It is *NOT* intended for real cirrus devices. This requires | |
| the modesetting userspace X.org driver. | |
| Cirrus is obsolete, the hardware was designed in the 90ies | |
| and can't keep up with todays needs. More background: | |

| Better alternatives are: | |
| - stdvga (DRM_BOCHS, qemu -vga std, default in qemu 2.2+) | |
| - qxl (DRM_QXL, qemu -vga qxl, works best with spice) | |
| - virtio (DRM_VIRTIO_GPU), qemu -vga virtio) |
