stripping off "xf86-*-" from drivers

All current drivers are base on the XFree86 DDX, this what the xf86 means,

the only other DDX that has "drivers" is kdrive really and its drivers
aren't separated in modular..

Granted I'd be happy to move all the open source drivers back into the
server build and get rid of whole idea of a stable ABI between
releases...
