Now this one is messy. If we remove it, existing userspace [0] won't
be able to build. As they don't include the above header where needed,
but instead rely on via_drm.h. Despite the fact that each user
provides its own copy of via_drmclient.h.
There is some very old hardware/software involved so I'm not sure how
much of a real issue this patch will be. If the maintainers decide to
pick it up, let me know and I'll roll a fix for the ddx.
