Currently we have one virtio-gpu device.  Problem with this approach is
that if you compile a full-featured qemu you'll get a virtio-gpu device
which depends on opengl and virgl, so these dependencies must be
installed and the libraries will be loaded into memory even if you don't
use virgl.  Also the code is cluttered with #ifdefs and a bit messy.

This patch series splits the virtio-gpu device into two:

 (1) virtio-gpu-device becomes the non-virgl device, same as
     virtio-gpu-device,virgl=off today.
 (2) virtio-gpu-gl-device is the new virgl device, same as
     virtio-gpu-device,virgl=on today.

When compiling qemu without virglrenderer support virtio-gpu-device
behavior doesn't change.

v2:
 - rebase to latest master.
 - move pci and vga wrappers to separate modules.
 - fix ci failures.

The patch series looks good.

But isn't that a breaking change? Any existing user of virtio-gpu/vga,virgl=on will no longer get a working setup. Right? Imho, in this case (virgl VM being not very common) the benefit is worth it. However, I suggest to keep the 'virgl=' property, and print a deprecation / replaced-by warning, falling back to non-virgl/2d mode. Or perhaps we could have more cleverness to have virgl=on aliasing to the new devices.


Gerd Hoffmann (16):
  virtio-gpu: rename virgl source file.
  virtio-gpu: add virtio-gpu-gl-device
  virtio-gpu: move virgl realize + properties
  virtio-gpu: move virgl reset
  virtio-gpu: use class function for ctrl queue handlers
  virtio-gpu: move virgl handle_ctrl
  virtio-gpu: move virgl gl_flushed
  virtio-gpu: move virgl process_cmd
  virtio-gpu: move update_cursor_data
  virtio-gpu: drop VIRGL() macro
  virtio-gpu: move virtio-gpu-gl-device to separate module
  virtio-gpu: drop use_virgl_renderer
  virtio-gpu: move fields to struct VirtIOGPUGL
  virtio-gpu: add virtio-gpu-gl-pci
  modules: add have_vga
  virtio-gpu: add virtio-vga-gl
