--- Comment #1 from Egbert Eich ---
This was mainly driven by Eric Anholt who is now working for Broadcom.
At the time he was proposing this on XDC 2013 in Portland, OR. I believe he was
still working for Intel. The big argument at the time was that it gives the
open source driver a speed advantage (as function calls between libraries don't
require an indirection).
This 'megadrivers' project got at least buy-in by AMD - and of course RH was
all for it.
For your 'entertainment' you can take a look at:

and watch the video.
I do understand your frustration - especially since it countered the hard work
you've done to make things more modular.
I would like to close this with 'UPSTREAM'.
