Linux 4.1 - Expected Features

While the Linux 4.0 kernel hasn't even been released yet, there's already a number of items we're looking forward to seeing with Linux 4.1.

Linux 4.0 has many nice features and with being addicted to Git there's already a lot of -next material queuing up to make for an exciting Linux 4.1 when its development commences in the weeks ahead.

Among the likely Linux 4.1 features are:

- Intel vGPU support for XenGT on the client side.

- More improvements for Intel Skylake.

- More atomic mode-setting work.

- DisplayPort MST for the Radeon driver.

- Support for multiple graphics devices/drivers with the AMDKFD HSA kernel drive

- New eBPF tracing features for this in-kernel virtual machine component.

- Virtual GEM for faster software rasterizer performance.

- Potentially the new VirtIO DRM driver.

- Initial Intel Braxton support.

- Maybe at long last we'll finally see KDBUS in the mainline kernel?
