Uh, we want to get away from drm_dev_alloc because that doesn't allow
embedding of struct drm_device.

drmm_kzalloc exists and works, and is used plenty in this series. The
trouble is you can only use it once the drm_device is initialized, so
there's a chicken/egg problem.

But your idea is sound, and I already proposed it in the todo list of
the final patch as devm_drm_dev_alloc. It's just at 50+ patches,
there's a limit of what's reasonable to do in the first round.

I think if you read the entire thing (skipping the driver patches you
don't care about) it will make a lot more sense what's going on.

Cheers, Daniel
