Enums are just fine for *values* as long as they're not used as types in
struct members or function parameters or return types, right?

So we do have some we've screwed up, but it's not nearly as bad as the
git grep above would lead you to believe.

The ones in question are used in struct drm_map which is used in
DRM_IOCTL_GET_MAP, DRM_IOCTL_ADD_MAP, and DRM_IOCTL_RM_MAP.

BR,
Jani.
