* To use builtin, the process must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN or be root at the time
* of the call. These privileges can be dropped at any point after the call.
* To use builtin, the process must have permission to open and use the seat's
* devices at the time of the call. In the case of DRM devices, this includes

* point after the call.
