I was in the area, fixing the odd bug and doing some cleanups and a
question came to mind:
Is there some obstacle of placing the drm nodes under /dev/dri/? It
would involve a check/update through the OpenBSD tree, yet no obvious
downsides comes to mind.
I think it would make things more distinct and obvious. IIRC the
OpenBSD xserver does some checking which /dev node opened, the
suggestion should help there.
What do you think?
