The second is that macos is now using mode numbers > 20.  I haven't
worked out the correspondence yet.

MacOS no longer relies on the nvram setting. Video drivers are free to
put whatever they want in their own device tree node, and usually store
an nvram value for the mode there, but this is proprietary and depends on
the driver. MacOS itself now stores the various infos in a preferences
file. The old "Monitors" control panel still updates the old pram
location with a mode value but the meaning is not guaranteed (can be
driver specific).

Thus I can remove the nvram code from atyfb?
