These names are supposedly historical, but everyone seems to use them
for the same purpose.
I am aware this may require a few minor changes to (for example) exa
drivers with driver based memory allocations.
I personally believe in having clear names rather than some obscure
remnant of the past. I removed the devPrivate considering the void
pointer is the only useful part anyway.

It would be nice to know if all !xfree86 has the equivilant of
VIDEODRV_ABI_VERSION.

Anyway, share your thoughts, comments and such.

Maarten.

PS. i can commit these myself, this is just for review, considering
it's a non-trivial change.
