At the moment there's one module for all Mesa specific code,
including whole DRM Mode setup and DRM Image creation, as well
as wrapping into render buffer and texture objects.

Then there's a module providing the acceleration of the 2D API
of DirectFB which uses GLES 2.0 calls.

There's no vendor specific code so far, but it seems we need that.
