Not necessary, submitting an UVD create messages while creating the 
driver object should just result in an error code when UVD is not available.

When handled like this it doesn't matter if the kernel has no UVD 
support at all, no UVD support for this hardware generation or UVD just 
failed to initialize.

Currently we just don't handle the return code so well in mesa (feel 
free to fix that).
