Committed.
This patch may break build for non-Linux OSes. I didn't have the opportunity to
test this code.
Leaving open for further discussion.

        Modifying X.Org Xserver DDX to allow to run X with ordinary
        user permissions when no access to HW registers is required.
        For API changes which mostly involve the modifications to
        make the RRFunc (introduced with 6.8) more flexible please
        check Bugzilla #2407.
        NOTE: This patch applies changes to OS specific files for
        other OSes which I cannot test.
