Intel's GEM Coming In Linux 2.6.28 Kernel

Intel's Graphics Execution Manager is a kernel memory manager for graphics processors and has since overtaken TTM in what will become the de facto standard for GPU memory management.
Intel has been working on merging GEM to master since June and then in early August it was finally merged into xf86-video-intel for the Intel driver's memory management needs. The GEM kernel component is still missing from the mainline Linux kernel. During XDS 2008 in September it was stated that GEM should be ready for the Linux 2.6.28 kernel and that was confirmed again today as being ready for the next kernel release.
Waste of time compromise e1000e and PCI/ISA bus ?
GEM will be a waste of time, despite Intel's fame.
PCI/ISA bus are hopeless, with USB 3.0 coming.
Linux operating system maybe replaced with 8 bit ascii ocde table as function keys in cisc cpu with asic funstions, running 8 bit multicored cpus? The old cpu instructions can be replaced with Posix packets runing cloud computing servers. Data transfer is now planned to be Mpeg4/AVC.
