RFC: Comments on patches for libdrm are welcomed

[Svante Signell]

Hello,

After the patches sent to the libdrm package in #909436 was removed with version
2.4.103-2 due to bug #975658 causing problems with an "Invalid read after the
end of block in xf86drm.c" a year ago nothing happened. I've now taken up the
patches again, and try to solve the issues of the hurd port of libdrm. Attached
are the latest effort to fix this, hurd-port.diff and path_max.diff. Comments on
the patches are really appreciated. If OK, I'll resend them to  #909436 and
upstream so Hurd can be properly supported.

One alternative to the path_max.diff patch is to simply do:
#ifndef PATH_MAX
#define PATH_MAX 4096
#endif
in xf86drm.c. This is a patch that upstream would accept more easily than the
proposed one, but is not very Hurdish.

WDYT?

Thanks!
