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.

Imposing a standard set of rules to a subsystem. What insane person would
ever do that?

Imposing a set of useless features on hardware that can not support it
by design.  Yes, that's sensible, oh yes.

All I'm trying to do is seperate hardware independent data from hardware
dependent data.
