This originally dates back to around or slightly after when the drm code 
was a set of template headers with the objective of sharing code with 
some bsds, and then I guess it also leaked. The reason I sent this patch 
was I made a review comment of this for drm_gpuvm and then also promised 
to send a patch against drm_exec.

+1.
