You must check the headers are present (for example, by calling some
cc.compile('include <header>'etc...).
You might also need to check that the part of the API that this driver
requires are available (common/mlx5/linux has some examples).

If those requirements are not fulfilled, then skip this driver,
setting build = false etc...
