Mesa 8.0 Nouveau Gallium3D

Benchmarks of the Nouveau Gallium3D stack in Mesa. Comparing the NVIDIA GeForce performance between Mesa 7.11 and Mesa 8.0-devel of the different Nouveau NVC0 Fermi, NV50, etc open-source drivers with several different graphics cards. Testing for a future article by Michael Larabel of Phoronix.com for looking at Mesa 8.0 OpenGL performance.
