You cannot get rid of cardX currently. It is implied by DRIVER_MODESET and that flag should actually be called NOT_A_LEGACY_DRIVER. So you cannot remove it. I did try to replace DRIVER_MODESET by an inverted DRIVER_LEGACY flag some time ago, but I thought it's not worth it. Anyhow, you can easily add a new flag to make drm_dev_register()/drm_dev_alloc() not create the drm_minor for DRM_MINOR_LEGACY, which would prevent the card0 node from showing up. But people started using the cardX interface as base interface so mesa might not be able to open render-nodes if the related card-node is not available (which is a bug in their code, so no reason to support that by not adding stand-alone render-nodes). Long story short: If you want to do it properly, just add a flag to DRM core that prevents DRM_MINOR_LEGACY from showing up. If you just want it to work, simply keep a dummy card0.
