rdma-core uses cmake build system and in our case cmake find_library() is preferable over pkgconfig.
Only the headers are needed, and they could be installed via either the libdrm-devel package or the kernel-headers package. The cmake find_path() command is more suitable here.
Except if your distro is buggy (or doesn't support any gpu drivers at all) they will never be installed as part of kernel-headers.
pkgconfig is OK, we use it for libnl for similar reasons, I just don't like it to see it used gratuitously as it can cause more problems than it solves
