well.. it doesn't break *ABI* compat, and the upstream user (libdrm)
carries it's own copy of the header in sync with the name change.  As
far as I know this is all we care about.  Any other "hypothetical"
userspace should just carry it's own copy of the kernel header, IMHO.

oh, whoops.. well if dave hasn't merged my pull req yet I can fixup
the typo and resend the pr.  Unfortunately kbuild robot doesn't
include spellcheck ;-)
