The patch removes all macros in the format
define xf86_sym ((type (*)(argument-list))LoaderSymbol("sym"))
creates a new macro in the format
define xf86_sym sym
and ensures "sym" is a "visible" symbol.
The patch doesn't add or remove features, and is source and binary
compatible with previous shared objects (with the difference that it
requires the dlloader).
These symbols are a special case, as, due to the fact that LoaderSymbol
was being used to reference them, they are not easily found by "automated"
tools that check for missing symbols. And now it also have the benefit
that the compiler/loader "knows what is going on".
Get rid of almost all uses of these definitions. They're still defined for
delinquent out-of-tree drivers, and also for the Mesa build. As well as
for miinitext.c. But largely gone.
code is practically untouched since xatitv (which was a standalone test
program). However, it all worked and was debugged over long period of
time, so I prefer to to mess with these for now.
New drivers: fi12xx (including MT2032 - this would be be split off later).
