If you have an `asymmetric' dual-head chipset (both heads are not independent,
and/or have different capabilities), you'll have 2 info structures, with one
shared par. So info and par cannot be combined.

That may be true for such systems.  I don't believe in imposing such
restrictions on drivers that can _never ever_ fall into that category.

Then just store your par in your info.

Err, that's what I _am_ doing.  However, James has converted my info to
a par and reordered some elements without any reason.

Read my other email. Lets see the reason. Modularity of the subsystem.
Code reduction.
