What do you want to export there?

I'm just weighing the options of whether I should just add a new
device-specific ioctl, or try to export this as part of the var_screeninfo.

Come to think of it, no matter what I added to the screeninfo struct,
fbcon_switch() would have to be hacked to not disrupt any new fields since it
does a memset-to-zero.

I think a device-specific ioctl is the way to go.

That's indeed the best solution for now, until we have a real API for handling
multiple planes.
