Ok, added some printk's to the ADDFB and ADDFB2 code paths and tested a
bit.  Apparently pretty much all userspace still uses the ADDFB ioctl.
xorg (modesetting driver) does.  gnome-shell in wayland mode does.
Seems the big transition to ADDFB2 didn't happen yet.

I guess that makes changing drm_mode_legacy_fb_format + drivers a
reasonable option ...

cheers,
