I'll go ahead and pull in the hdmi symbol rename patch, since that is a sane thing to do. I'm less sure about splitting things up into separate .ko's. And I think having the .ko name not match the drm driver name (ie. what is passed in to drmOpen() in userspace) would cause issues since libdrm could try to modprobe $drivername.ko. (I *think* that only matters in the non-udev case? Which is at least not a common case, but breaking userspace is breaking userspace...)
