Basically by making them extern references, it means that the files cannot be compiled into a driver which doesn't use them - I guess this is the reason behind the recent rework of common/Imakefile.inc.
It also means that you can't have two drivers for two different cards loaded in simultaneously, making hw-accelerated multihead impossible.
Plus it's also just odd.
Why aren't they parameters?
