I actually prefer it if you kept the type argument. As it allows you
to know what the intended usage of the buffer by just looking at the
struct data, even for the sw winsys, I don't care to much about
expanding that type into different names for libdrm_bo but they are
nice, tho the name_string is totally redundant for the sw winsys.

Cheers Jakob.
