Ok, I've prepared a patch for this now.
I guess the reason for having onw declarations are the releatively
frequent non-atomic driver API changes in the Xserver which are
particularly cumbersome when providing function stubs.
This problem could be circumvented by only relying own declaration
however this would prohibit the use of any SDK headers.
So far I don't see a golden path here.
