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.
