Is this an actual issue or a hypothetical one ? Afaict no-one is using the
kernel drm headers, but instead the ones from libdrm are in place.
linux-headers does not even ship /usr/include/drm on my Archlinux box.

Additionally most (all?) vmwgfx components (mesa, ddx) use a local version of
the header, which albeit not ideal should not cause issues.

Or perhaps I'm missing something ?


To the VMware guys,

Any objections if we update the libdrm header and drop the mesa/ddx copies ?

Cheers,
Emil

P.S. I'm against the patch in any way :)
