Using constructs such as idr that are GPL, effectively makes the driver GPL, 
per your email:

List:       dri-devel

However I am sure that we will see more of a push towards using Linux
constructs in dri drivers, things like
idr, list.h, locking constructs are too much of a pain to reinvent for
every driver..
