Fwiw I would have gone with Han's idea of making this hidden. That has a
number of advantages, even if we don't have a separate tinydrm.ko:
 - the tinydrm code is not build when there are no users
 - the tinydrm dependencies are contained within itself, instead of
updating 5-10 individual drivers

That said, I won't get in the way if people like this approach ;-)
