Things are already complicated enough that distfile for libdrm-2.4.5
doesn't include

    libdrm/nouveau/nouveau_dma.h
    libdrm/nouveau/nouveau_private.h

As airlied explained on #dri-devel I guess it was itentional to force
users to only use version from git.

As I understand nouveau interface is not stable. It may go away to a
separate branch one day. If that happens I would not need to touch
libdrm port, only convert libdrm-nouveau from slave port to a normal one
with snapshot as distfile and switch xf86-video-nouveau to statically
link with libdrm_nouveau.a.
