Thanks. This doesn't look like a git repository though.
How can I clone it ?

I'd still like to only use the Linux version by default, both in kernel 
and userland.
I guess at this point the only way to do that without breaking Solaris 
is to either use local patches or change the logic of the #if directives 
to replace the Linux check with a !Solaris one.

Dri-devel seems to still be the best place for now :)
