When creating a dumb buffer object using the DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB
IOCTL, only the width, height, bpp and flags parameters are inputs. The
caller is not guaranteed to zero out or set handle, pitch and size, so
the driver must not treat these values as possible inputs.
Fixes a bug where running the Weston compositor on Tegra DRM would cause
an attempt to allocate a 3 GiB framebuffer to be allocated.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
