I have tried to build/install drm (just the lib for the moment). It all
builds and installs fine. However the files: radeon_cs.h, radeon_cs_gem.h
and others do not get installed in /usr/include although radeon_drm.h
does. The build of xf86-video-ati then fails due to the different API
of radeon_cs_space_check() and some missing functions definitions.
Am I missing something here ?
I built/installed the git drm with:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Cheers
