My belief in theory is that the OS should be providing drm.h, *_drm.h and
the libdrm should provide xf86drm.h and libdrm.so, I'm thinking of moving
the files to the correct place in the Linux tree, maybe having something
like include/linux/drm/

shouldn't be needed and if they are that should be fixed...
