Would it be correct to say that applications expect the separate devices (/dev/fb0, /dev/fb1, etc) to represent different monitors?
That's not necessarily true. In the strictest sense, each /dev/fbx device represents one memory region. Whether that memory region is attached to zero, one or more monitors is up to the driver. We do not have the infrastructure yet to separate output devices from the framebuffer so multi-head/mergefb implementations will still be driver specific.
