Thanks Brian.

Had a quick look - dri2.c includes u_memory.h, while dri_screen.c uses
imports.h, transitively via utils.h (the one in dri/common).
The last header will always pull imports.h one way or another.

Simplest solution is to (re)move CALLOC_STRUCT from imports.h - where,
how, etc will end up more time consuming that what I have atm :-\

Anyone willing to sort that, please go ahead; personally I'd worry
when it becomes an obvious issue.
