It will attach in the same way that it attaches to PCI.

But there's no need for reinventing dri, because you can simply attach
whatever displays your wscons on top of dri if you add the respective
code, which again doesn't require you to reinvent any wheels. There
are enough wheels out there already, and I think we can profit from what
the DRI team does.
