Color manager is a new framework in i915 driver, which provides a unified interface for various color correction methods supported by intel hardwares. The high level overview of this change is:

Would have been good to discuss this idea before implementing it. The plan is to use kms properties for this kind of stuff which allows us to hook it up with the upcoming atomic modeset API. Just yesterday there was some discussion on #dri-devel about exposing user settable blob properties even before the atomic modeset API lands (it was always the plan for the atomic modeset API anyway). So based on a cursory glance, this looks like it's going in the wrong direction.

Also ideally the properties should be hardware agnostic, so a generic userspace could use them regardless of the hardware/driver. Obviously that might not be possible in all cases, but we should at least spend a bit of effort on trying to make that happen for most properties.
