So it is possible, only reason vram dumb buffers look worse is that there's
only 3 and no one cares about them, vs about 20 and a very active community
of contributors (also for core drm improvements) for the other case.

Well, we could move offb to drm while at it I suppose that would be another
one (offb is the "dumb driver based on pre-programmed output by firmware).

That would indeed be a great example.
