All these memory-related modules have the same purpose: make it possible to allocate/reserve large amounts of memory and share it between different subsystems (primarily framebuffer, GPU and V4L).
It really shouldn't be that hard to get everyone involved together and settle on a single solution (either based on an existing proposal or create a 'the best of' vendor-neutral solution).
There is a memory management summit at the LF Collaboration Summit next month. Perhaps this would be a good topic to raise there? I've added Hugh to the Cc list in case he has any thoughts on the matter - and besides, he doesn't have enough to do...:)
It's a good suggestion, Jon, thank you. But I don't see that any of the prime movers in this area have applied to come to LSF/MM this year: except for Kamezawa-san, who is coming (but I expect will be focussing on other issues). And now we're full up.
Let me keep it in mind when drawing up the agenda; but I doubt this will be the forum to get such a ball rolling this year.
