Much of the initialization of chips is complex and messy and not
neccessarily good kernel material. SAREA setup I agree seems an obvious
kernel thing to d

DRM has the concepts of master and authenticated. In the current code
master is also equated with needing root priv. The patch splits these
two concepts into three (auth, master, root) and makes them separately
controllable.
For example:
[DRM_IOCTL_NR(DRM_IOCTL_ADD_BUFS)] = {drm_addbufs, 1
