Besides differences in HW functionality, another use for this feature would
be to expose an extension only if the software stack supports it.

Eg. something like:

if (libdrm_version >= x && drm_version >= y)
    register_extension(...)

This will come into play with some of the other patches on amd-gfx that
you've helped me review :)
