If we don't have any existing hardware which requires per-CRTC scanout
formats, I have to admit I'm tempted to leave the interface alone
instead of making things more complicated for both applications and the
server.

I'm hoping the new 'set' entry point will do what you want; it gets
called before xf86CrtcRotate in every case now (unlike set_mode_major
which doesn't get used when the server changes only the origin).
