Yes, egl_dri2 doesn't support that extension.  I don't see a problem
in adding support for it, but the approach we've taken is to not try
to wrap KMS in an EGL extension and instead provide integration points
that lets us use the two APIs together.

Don't remeber exactly, but I think it's because we use glapi
get_proc_address in there (or gbm) and need to link to something that
provides it.
