This has been around for a long time, I think. I agree that we should do
something about it, but I think we're still looking for a solution that
makes everyone happy.

The script only checks for direct inclusions of types.h, while the drm headers
get it from drm.h. One solution would be to make the script smart enough
to evaluate all indirect header inclusions as well. A more hacky workaround
would be to just treat "drm.h" the same as <linux/types.h>.
