With the next DRM client coming soon (drm_log) and most of DRM's fbdev emulation consolidated in a few places, it's time to provide a single place for the clients. The new module drm_client_lib.ko stores most of the common client code. It's designed such that drivers can opt into client support, but the presence of the client module depends on the user's kernel configuration. Without selected clients, no client module will be build.
