Would have been good to discuss this idea before implementing it. The
plan is to use kms properties for this kind of stuff which allows us
to hook it up with the upcoming atomic modeset API. Just yesterday there
was some discussion on #dri-devel about exposing user settable blob
properties even before the atomic modeset API lands (it was always the
plan for the atomic modeset API anyway). So based on a cursory glance,
this looks like it's going in the wrong direction.

Also ideally the properties should be hardware agnostic, so a generic
userspace could use them regardless of the hardware/driver. Obviously
that might not be possible in all cases, but we should at least spend
a bit of effort on trying to make that happen for most properties.
