Why is all of this in drm_drv.c?
Why not put it in drm/accel/accel.c or something like that? Then put
the proper stuff into a .h file and then you have no #ifdef in the .c
files.
Keeping #ifdef out of C files is key, please do not do things like you
have here. Especially as it ends up with this kind of mess:

That's just a mess.
