Yeah, it's the Vulkan EXT_acquire_xlib_display API which is using this
access to discover the set of resources available via the render fd in
preparation for accessing them over the lease fd once the lease has been
created.

I *think* I can get enough information to make a good guess as to what
kernel resources there are from the RandR info. I'll go give that a try
and see if I get stuck.

Thanks for the feedback; the fewer kernel API changes the better.
