sorry, I think I wasn't clear enough: this interface is unused on the
*current* implementation of the server side.
So we 1) either remove this interface on newer servers, setting the bits
on driver side accordingly or 2) leave as it is so far. I'm more
inclined to go to 1) because I'm pretty sure we can be do in painless
way for everyone just wrapping xf86EnableAccess with #ifndef
LIBPCIACCESS. But I would like to hear arguments why not.
Cheers,
Tiago
