It is nice to have when you just copy the X drm subtree to the kernel
you are building, so that the drm drivers can be built in one go, or
even builtin the kernel. They need to be uptodate though for that to
work, or that we have one for various kernel versions, or at least state
for what range of kernels they will work.
