The other thing that's occurred to me is that with og8 being new, maybe
it's a good time to merge the GCN stuff into that, and work with the
NVidia folks to share it. [Adding Cesar and Thomas to CC.] I'm aware of
some incompatibilities with og7, but those are going to need fixing
either way.
I've spoken with Thomas. He's happy to take GCN patches there, or GCN
related patches anyway, so that's an option.
I can use it as my upstream, or push my changes directly.
I guess it makes no difference to me -- I'm going to have to go through
all the steps anyway -- but it depends how transparent others would like
me to be.
The more I think about this, the more I'm coming to the conclusion that
nobody but me really cares about GCN for GCC 8, and nobody cares about
the development history, so I'm over-complicating my upstreaming plans.
I should just do what I need to do in my local repo, as before, and
submit a somewhat flattened patch series for inclusion in trunk in the
traditional manner, as soon as I have it.
