Sorry if I'm missing something, but isn't SwiftShader also a graphics
driver? At least, that's what the second page says of the PDF that
Luke linked. Although it says on that second page that it is a
graphics driver for CPUs, but Libre RISC-V is a combined CPU/GPU,
which is why I thought it was similar to Kazan but more general
purpose.

By the way, I found this Phoronix article that mentions Kazan as a
similar effort to SwiftShader (in the last paragraph).
