Is this in upstream? I couldn't find it.

Perhaps they could be renamed so other terms, not drm-specific, could be
introduced?

DRM_API_HANDLE_TYPE_SHARED -> WINSYS_HANDLE_TYPE_DRM_FLINK
DRM_API_HANDLE_TYPE_KMS -> WINSYS_HANDLE_TYPE_DRM_KMS
DRM_API_HANDLE_TYPE_FD -> WINSYS_HANDLE_TYPE_DRM_DMABUF

It was possible to introduce a drisw-specific winsys struct before the gbm
"kms_swrast" driver, but since then both headers are used simultaneously,
so a common structure seems necessary.

thanks
