I think I like my version (or a variation of the theme)
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2014-January/051496.html
better, but after Daniel comment I abandoned the effort to not conflict
with his work.

I don't believe this moved on at all since, oh well.

I would think the explicit cast from __I915__(), __DRM__() are not
needed?

Maybe adding a BUILD_BUG_ON() checking the sizes of the 2 structures
would let us sleep at night. drm_device is unlikey to catch up any time
soon though.
