You are omit hwd cursor size problem - very few (possible no one)
graphics chips could support cursor with any size. Usually they support
32x32/64x64 pixels cursors only. For kernel fb its have not meaning,
'cause we always could fallback to the soft_cursor (in the fbcon or
directly in a driver), BUT what to do with such crazy user who will wish
to use, ex. 100x100 pix cursor in user space?

If cursor_capabilities() is called, it should return the maximum
dimensions supported by the hardware. 
Meaning, we have to change it to:

int (*cursor_capabilities)(int set, struct fb_cursor_caps *caps);

so it passes struct fb_cursor_caps *caps instead of int caps.

And max_depth also must present in struct fb_cursor_caps. Why generate
true_color image for monochrome hwd cursor? Conversion from true_color
to monochrome, IMHO, usually very painful.
