The kernel shouldn't be in the business of telling user space which
driver to load. The kernel defers mapping PCI IDs to module names
to user space and we should do the same for DRI drivers.
And in fact, that's how it does work today. Nothing uses the
dri_library_name attribute, and the attribute is in fact broken.
For intel devices, it falls back to the default behaviour of returning
the kernel module name as the DRI driver name, which doesn't work for
i965 devices. Nobody has ever hit this problem or filed a bug about this.

drm vblank initialization keeps track of the changes in driver-supplied
frame counts across vt switch and mode setting, but only if you let it by
not tearing down the drm vblank structure.

Like the last patch but adds a macro to get at the irq value instead of
dereferencing pdev directly. Should make things easier for the BSD guys and
if we ever support non-PCI devices.

Previously, drivers supporting vblank interrupt waits would run the interrupt
all the time, or all the time that any 3d client was running, preventing the
CPU from sleeping for long when the system was otherwise idle. Now, interrupts
are disabled any time that no client is waiting on a vblank event. The new
method uses vblank counters on the chipsets when the interrupts are turned
off, rather than counting interrupts, so that we can continue to present
accurate vblank numbers.

With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff,
the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and
starting to be unmanageable.
This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.
It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into
subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and
sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.
