Yeah, for things which are created after the ScreenRec is allocated, it
makes sense to just allocate them right in the ScreenRec.

For things which are in the xfree86 DDX and are allocated before the
ScreenRec, those can be in ScrnInfo.

If there are things outside the xfree86 DDX which are allocated before
the ScreenRec, we'd need a third plan.
