Having a limit of 64 DRM devices is not good enough for modern world
where we have multi-GPU servers, SR-IOV virtual functions and virtual
devices used for testing.
Let's utilize full minor range for DRM devices.
To avoid regressing the existing userspace, we're still maintaining the
numbering scheme where 0-63 is used for primary, 64-127 is reserved
(formerly for control) and 128-191 is used for render.
For minors >= 192, we're allocating minors dynamically on a first-come,
first-served basis.
