The only problem right now is how do you pass the monitor info to the
driver?  The best way is to parse the EDID block and use I2C/DDC. 
Personally, I think passing the monitor info as a boot/module option is
the simplest and safest method.
Through sysfs? echo MY_MONITOR_LIMITS > /proc/...?

Since ioctls are considered evil these days, changing the resolution etc. could
work in a similar way as well.
Can you do this with sysfs? This is what I have been waiting for!!! The 
proc thing is don't care for tho.
