There's two ways.  One, I can just move the files to the correct
location if David has no objections.

Or, if people want to review this better, create a patch that just adds
the driver to the "correct" place.  Then, when that is accepted in the
drm tree, I'll just delete the staging version.

It's up to David which he wants me to do, either is fine with me.
