DRM_IOCTL_VERSION is a reliable way to get the driver-name and version information. It's not related to the interface-version (SET_VERSION ioctl) so we can safely enable it on render-nodes. Note that gbm uses udev-BUSID to load the correct mesa driver. However, the VERSION ioctl should be the more reliable way to do this (in case we add new DRM-bus drivers which have no BUSID or similar).

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
