(Can't call a device `drm2'.) there's probably a way to do this -- see how the current drm code used to co-exist with the previous drm code (from sys/dev/drm). you couldn't build them into the same kernel, but they were able to share the name 'drm' and the major number. Good point. I didn't realize that the device-major names are totally unrelated to the autoconf names. I don't think there's any harm in calling the new autoconf device drmkmsN, though, which will help to distinguish it from the old regime, both in the config files and in dmesg output. I will shortly commit some changes to reuse the drm major number and get rid of the drmkms one. I think while I'm shuffling this around I'd also like to take the opportunity to split off the PCI support properly to make it easier to bring in non-PCI drivers (e.g., omap or exynos).
