If you call drm_minor_unregister(), we now disable lookup but keep
minor->index. If I also released the ID, a new drm_minor might get
access to it before we call drm_minor_free on the old one. This might
cause misleading debug-messages as both minor objects have the same
index. This is not really a problem, but kinda ugly.

I did post a patch some time ago that makes minor-ID allocations
predictable. I got a NACK from you, so this one is one you ;) But I
agree, we really should fix user-space instead of making random IDs
predictable.
