The hardware resources are managed by the kernel, which presents the GEM
api to userspace: http://lwn.net/Articles/283798/ . And the chipset
documentation can be found at http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ .
But it does sound like you are trying to reinvent the wheel and tie
yourself into a single and very limited platform...
