I'm not sure why we need to make this machine-tunable - we currently
build all drivers in libdrm (but split them between packages), so why
not just enable all working DRI drivers in Mesa and split them between
packages.

Machine configurations can pull in specific driver packages (or all of
them) without making Mesa itself machine-specific.

Can you send a V2 without the conditional assignment (unless you have
an argument for keeping it), with a commit message that just describes
the patch.
