Does that mean we should go all the way and don't keep the +64 (for
control) and +128 (for render nodes) offsets either? Should it be
possible to have a /dev/dri directory that looks somewhat like this:

	/dev/dri/card0    (GPU#0, legacy)
	/dev/dri/card1    (GPU#1, legacy)
	/dev/dri/render0  (GPU#1, render)

?
