--- Comment #4 from Nicolas Dufresne (stormer) <nicolas at ndufresne.ca> ---
It's the nature of libdrm, where the kernel API evolve (along with libdrm) very
quickly. We don't expect distros to keepup so well, specially the embedded
distros. kmssink, for many of us, is a test tool. It's more important to be
able to get that built quickly then to have it well integrated inside the OS. I
don't think any sensible final integration will allow GStreamer to be the DRM
master, unless you have a very restricted use case in mind.

Another option, as libdrm/libkms are just wrappers around the DRM ioctl would
be to implement our own wrappers. In the end, I don't see any difference
between this and the v4l2 headers in the v4l2 elements.
