Things like current directfb accel won't work with these fbdev
drivers, mapping card regs into userspace won't be allowed.

So directfb would need to use the dri api in order to work with those
fbdev drivers?

No, I think DirectFB can just work on the fbdev interface they provide - it 
would just have to drop to software fall-backs for everything. However if 
libdrm provided a blit API, it would also be able to use it (maybe X could 
too, not to mention Wayland).
