What is this "CSMT patchset" thing?

Hello,

I heard a lot about a "CSMT patchset" for Wine. Apparently it dramatically improves performances for video games.
I was wondering if it was a patch made by someone outside of the Wine development team or code that is yet to be part of Wine or code that is already part of Wine.

Best regards

It is a patchset from one of the Wine developers that is in the process of being incorporated in Wine. Completion of that is the criterion for the release of 1.8.

I read this is optimized for ATI and nVidia GPU. Will Intel HD Graphics be able to benefit from it?
