We've had some submissions for not-GPUs to the drm subsystem recently.
Intel GNA, Intel VPU, NVDLA, rpmsg AI processor unit.
why is creating a new subsystem at this time necessary?
Are we just creating a subsystem to avoid the open source userspace consumer rules? Or do we have some concrete reasoning behind it?
