Hmm, I guess libdrm_amdgpu does magic to make it work then. That leaves
the question whether we want to reinstate it for amdgpu now, or wait
until it can be reinstated for radeon as well. Unless somebody can think
of an important reason why render nodes should be used for DRI3 clients,
I'm leaning towards the latter.
