It's part of the DRM api. Either you're using the old v4.4 kernel in which
case a lot of tests in IGT would have already failed, or when you backport
you backport the drm module too. Too much has changed between v4.4 and
drm-tip, there's no way you can just grab a current snapshot of the driver
and expect it to work in v4.4
