According with archives (http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/faq/architecture.html#DRM-SUB-DRIVERS), Linus wanted the DRM drivers to be independent. Don't know if he still feels the same, considering the ALSA/OSS modules, or the recent reorganization of AGPGART. Don't know as well if the old "DRM sub-drivers" would do the same thing as these examples.
That's a slightly different logical structure than I was talking about. What Linus didn't want, IIRC, was a system where the user does 'insmod drm.o' and drm.o request that a specific driver be loaded. What I'm proposing here is moving the device-independent stuff to drm_util.o that would automatically get loaded when people do 'modprobe radeon'.
