I was seriously hoping that Dave's dumb buffer API would go upstream
and that libkms would be able to use that generic path for all KMS
drivers, rather than needing shim code for every driver it supports.

That said, yeah, the libkms maintainer probably should pull that code
in. Who is that, anyway?
