I don't know if xf86PrivsElevated is the right name for this API. Users might have access even without *elevated* privs. What we really want to know is if the user is privileged, and I can see us eventually updating the implementation of this call to reflect changes in access controls. Perhaps something like xf86IsPrivileged()
