Every driver that used GC privates broke two weeks ago. This included
sunffb and sunleo for which I posted patches which were applied.
This one is really spectacular, because now such drivers have to
choose whether they support the pre-SELINUX Xserver or the
post-SELINUX one.
You can't support both in the same driver source without a lot of ugly
ifdefs.
If these kinds of things happen it makes the whole modular driver
exercise pointless.
