For 4.2 and in the compatibility layer, yes.
As I think I said, I'd prefer more functional (and platform neutral) names
like GFX_ACCEL/GFX_SOFT in preference of things like GFX_DGA2, GFX_DIRECTX
and the like for the new_api_branch and hide the platform-specific drivver
names in some obscure part of the manual.

Yes. In essence, it makes sure that the #ifdef MODEX construction you could
use earlier can still be used, but with a different symbol name. Someone
should check all the sources to make sure we have *really* found the last
occurence of this problem now.
By the way, the symbol modex_split_screen (or whatever) is now supposed to
be always defined, but just do nothing on platforms where it makes no
sense. If it isn't, then I think that's a bug.
