I haven't forgotten about this and I've got it written, but I'm trying
to put it together with the work I'm doing to fix EDID reading and
that's still going to take me a while longer. I'm out tomorrow but
_hoping_ that I'll be able to at least get a new patch series (at
least RFC quality) next week...
