I wasn't aware of a hardware, which has limited configuration of zpos only
to some planes. I thought only about 2 cases: either completely configurable
planes arrangement, or planes fixed to some hw dependent order. I see no
problem to let drivers to define their own limits for mutable zpos property.

Now the question is weather we should allow to set the non-zero minimal 
value
for mutable zpos? I can imagine that there might be a hardware, which has
fixed background plane and a few configurable overlay planes. I assume that
in such case, the calculated normalized_zpos should still start from zero.

What are the downsides of using obj id as additional sorting criteria? It
solves all the ambiguities and simplifies checks (there is no need to check
if there are 2 planes of the same zpos value).
