Btw, the other side of this argument is that if a user-space driver
infrastructure can _not_ help the DRI kind of situation, then it's largely
by definition not interesting. Merging something like that would just mean
that we end up with multiple _different_ user-space helper infrastructure
shells, which sounds distinctly unpalatable.
