Well, at the moment you can include *anything* from under display/
*without* the prefix, because it's all in the include path. (Although
that will fail for DRM_XE_DISPLAY=n, but does CI even build that combo
regularly?)

I'm fine with dropping this too. I just think it makes it easier to
check that nothing outside of display/ does any displayish things.

Your call.
