If the udev device corresponding to a platform drm device has an "xorg_drivers"

This lets people create a udev rule to associate an X driver with a given drm
device using rules that look like this:
SUBSYSTEM=="drm", DRIVERS=="i915", ENV{xorg_drivers}="intel"

we had a similar suggestion for input drivers when we added udev support.
but to keep the xorg configuration in X, we then added InputClass and
xorg.conf.d snippets. With this patch, you'd have xorg configuration in
udev. Is this really what you want, or is it worth investigating VideoClass
support?
Hmm, maybe. That would be a lot more work, but might be more flexible in the
long run. I'll see if I can find some time to work on that.
