[PATCH] docs/drm: Add a new bullet to the uAPI requirements

[Jason Ekstrand]

 These are fairly steep requirements, but have grown out from years of shared
 pain and experience with uAPI added hastily, and almost always regretted about
 just as fast. GFX devices change really fast, requiring a paradigm shift and
