I'm implementing these calls in a device driver. Couldn't the EGL
implementation just retrieve the entire list of modes and do the
matching in user space? glChooseMode would work the same way. It is
very fast to retrieve the whole list and you could keep it caches,
it's less than 2K. That would also give you flexibility in the match
algorithm.
