Its also partly because there wasn't enough code sharing between the Linux
and BSD drivers and I didn't have enough time to spend keeping the BSD
code up to date. Unfortunately, its rotted quite badly now.

On the bright side, the linux drivers are being re-done in a much more
modular style and hopefully should allow better BSD support in the long
term.

I don't have much of an opinion on where the code should live. I have
commit privileges on the sourceforge DRI project anyway :-).
