Sure, you gang the two DVI outputs together into one logical output and
then program a single mode that drives both CRTCs. I'd like to have the
driver make sure the two CRTCs are in sync, rather than letting the
client attempt to program them correctly though. If you've got a
suggestion on how to present this other than as a mode where one CRTC is
effectively disabled and the other one gains new mode capabilities, I'd
love to hear it.

Aren't those tiled? If so, they're logically two monitors...
