+ * DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB - Create a new dumb buffer object.
+ *
+ * KMS dumb buffers provide a very primitive way to allocate a buffer object
+ * suitable for scanout and map it for software rendering. KMS dumb buffers are
+ * not suitable for hardware-accelerated rendering nor video decoding. KMS dumb
+ * buffers are not suitable to be displayed on any other device than the KMS
+ * device where they were allocated from. Also see
+ * :ref:`kms_dumb_buffer_objects`.
+ *
+ * The IOCTL argument is a struct drm_mode_create_dumb.
+ *
+ * User-space is expected to create a KMS dumb buffer via this IOCTL, then add
+ * it as a KMS framebuffer via &DRM_IOCTL_MODE_ADDFB and map it via
+ * &DRM_IOCTL_MODE_MAP_DUMB.
+ *
+ * &DRM_CAP_DUMB_BUFFER indicates whether this IOCTL is supported.
+ * &DRM_CAP_DUMB_PREFERRED_DEPTH and &DRM_CAP_DUMB_PREFER_SHADOW indicate
+ * driver preferences for dumb buffers.
