Playing around with [] is always fun. Thanks for the fix.

Ouch... this explains why many places in X symbols are explicitly
annotated as X_HIDDEN. From a closer look it seems to be the
shorter/safe option. Plus to catch internal symbols slipping away I can
add wire up a few tests at make check :-)

Thanks !

Was honestly hoping that patch #1 is not required as:
 - Getting the drm.h header in sync with the kernel will be annoying.
 - The struct drm_map/drmMapBufs/drmRmMap is part of the legacy drm
cruft for which, I would like to think, there are no more users.

Obviously the latter can be confirmed by Randy and friends.

Cheers,
Emil
