Having slept over this... Is it possible to include a new ioctl
specifically to exchange versioning info ? Something along the lines of

  struct {
      int uc_type;    /* user component type */
      int uc_major, un_minor, uc_subminor;   /* uc component info */
      int drm_major, drm_minor, drm_subminor; /* place to return drm  version info */
      } drm_version_t;

And have application (X at the moment) call it before doing anything with
drm ?

                  thanks !
