The kernel shouldn't be in the business of telling user space which
driver to load. The kernel defers mapping PCI IDs to module names
to user space and we should do the same for DRI drivers.
And in fact, that's how it does work today. Nothing uses the
dri_library_name attribute, and the attribute is in fact broken.
For intel devices, it falls back to the default behaviour of returning
the kernel module name as the DRI driver name, which doesn't work for
i965 devices. Nobody has ever hit this problem or filed a bug about this.

Under kernel modesetting, we manage the device at all times, regardless
of VT switching and X servers, so the only decent thing to do is to
claim the PCI device. In that case, we call the suspend/resume hooks
directly from the pci driver hooks instead of the current class device detour.

Add mode setting support to the DRM layer.
This is a fairly big chunk of work that allows DRM drivers to provide
full output control and configuration capabilities to userspace. It was
motivated by several factors:
- the fb layer's APIs aren't suited for anything but simple
configurations
- coordination between the fb layer, DRM layer, and various userspace
drivers is poor to non-existent (radeonfb excepted)
- user level mode setting drivers makes displaying panic & oops
messages more difficult
- suspend/resume of graphics state is possible in many more
configurations with kernel level support
This commit just adds the core DRM part of the mode setting APIs.
Driver specific commits using these new structure and APIs will follow.

With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff,
the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and
starting to be unmanageable.
This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.
It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into
subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and
sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.
