This includes a 3D Driver, called Kazan, and its purpose is to provide a Vulkan compliant hybrid hardware-software API. Given the complex nature of 3D driver development, and because Kazan is a novel approach (written in rust, for security reasons) a second oroposal was submitted to develop a Mesa3D driver (in c++). A second more traditional (c++) 3D Driver allows for increased transparency and collaboration on this ambitious project.
