I think we need to either adjust the entire mode before handing it to
userspace or if that's not possible we need to reject a modeset if the
implicit vactive/vblank in the side-by-side framebuffer doesn't fit.
On X even that shouldn't be an issue since the ddx could just
duplicate this knowledge, more fun would be wayland or similar generic
display servers. I'd opt to solve this when it's a real problem though
and not before.
