This has multiple possible subtasks: -* Make sure legacy IOCTLs can't be used on modern drivers. * Extract support code for legacy features into a ``drm-legacy.ko`` kernel module and compile it only when one of the legacy drivers is enabled. -* Extract legacy functions into their own headers and remove it that from the - monolithic ``drmP.h`` header. -* Remove any lingering cruft from the OS abstraction layer from modern - drivers.
