Is this what you mean with the comment about drm_dev_register below?
I think I understand what you are saying but not super clear.  Are you
suggesting the use of driver feature bits (drm_core_check_feature,
etc.) similar to the way Brian Welty did in his proposal in May?

Um... come to think of it, I can probably embed struct drmcgrp_device
into drm_device and that way I don't really need to keep a separate
array of
known_drmcgrp_devs and get rid of that max_minor thing.  Not sure why
I didn't think of this before.

I believe so, base on my understanding about
css_for_each_descendant_pre and how I am starting from the root
cgroup.  Hopefully I didn't miss anything.
