I'll take this moment to point out that, while its no excuse to go using them,
libdrm is actually documented worse than the ioctls (I found one LWN article
explaining how the ioctls work, I found absolutely nothing on the libdrm API,
and I've been fumbling through code examples trying to learn it myself). I'd be
happy to help fix this if I could get someone to sit down and lecture me on it.
