Sorry.
I meant an app which uses libdrm.
Shouldn't the app know the gen?
One interesting I just found.
I noticed Mesa has its own intel_chipset.h
which defines the IS_GEN3 macro.
(~src/mesa/drivers/dri/i915/intel_chipset.h)
So... to get the gen, I need to write my own header?
Or just copy libdrm's header?

OK. That's another question.
The simple answer is I don't know.
That code is not written by me.
The code was written by some Google and Intel engineers.
So Intel engineer didn't think that header is private,
at least at that time he wrote the code...
