Also, move the sentence about "who would use libdrm" into its own paragraph,
as it is something people discovering libdrm will want to know.

libdrm - userspace library for drm
+----------------------------------
-This is libdrm, a userspace library for accessing the DRM, direct
-rendering manager, on Linux, BSD and other operating systems that
-support the ioctl interface. The library provides wrapper functions
-for the ioctls to avoid exposing the kernel interface directly, and
-for chipsets with drm memory manager, support for tracking relocations
-and buffers. libdrm is a low-level library, typically used by
-graphics drivers such as the Mesa DRI drivers, the X drivers, libva
-and similar projects. New functionality in the kernel DRM drivers
-typically requires a new libdrm, but a new libdrm will always work
-with an older kernel.
