Alex Goins 44cb9578c0 modesetting: Disable Reverse PRIME for i915
Reverse PRIME seems to be designed with discrete graphics as a sink in
mind, designed to do an extra copy from sysmem to vidmem to prevent a
discrete chip from needing to scan out from sysmem.

The criteria it used to detect this case is if we are a GPU screen and
Glamor accelerated. It's possible for i915 to fulfill these conditions,
despite the fact that the additional copy doesn't make sense for i915.

Normally, you could just set AccelMethod = none as an option for the device
and call it a day. However, when running with modesetting as both the sink
and the source, Glamor must be enabled.

Ideally, you would be able to set AccelMethod individually for devices
using the same driver, but there seems to be a bug in X option parsing that
makes all devices on a driver inherit the options from the first detected
device. Thus, glamor needs to be enabled for all or for none until that bug
(if it's even a bug) is fixed.

Nonetheless, it probably doesn't make sense to do the extra copy on i915
even if Glamor is enabled for the device, so this is more user friendly by
not requiring users to disable acceleration for i915.

					X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the
following article:

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the
