I'm working (well plan to at least) on some nice infrastructure so that
all this can be garbage collected again. I think embeddeding into the
top-level structure is only neat if you have a very simple device (and
then maybe just embed the drm_simple_kms thing). tidss didn't look quite
that simple, but maybe I'm missing the big picture ...

Oh and on the patch:
