Ah, I've wondered about this quite a bit while writing the VGA
arbitration code for the OpenBSD kernel. The old interface didn't
make much sense to me. I'm a little bit worried though that none of
the open source drivers uses this yet, since that means it is hard to
test this bit of code.
That said,
