Hi Gabriel,

Interestingly enough we had a person (gaby) asking about this over at
#dri-devel, and I forwarded him to the work of Mikko Rapeli. You don't
happen to be that person do you ?

Please don't do this. As mentioned to Mikko, these headers are meant
to be used in more places than just Linux. All the compatibility is
handled in drm.h so we might as well use it.

That aside I'm a strong supporter of this type of work and I'm curious
why Dave hasn't picked up the existing series ? Last time I've asked
he did not have any objections.

Dave,
Did you see any issues with these that changed your mind or did it
slip through the cracks ?

Regards,
Emil
