I think we talked about this before. The CRTC_X/CRTC_Y properties are absolutely
being used and they're respected when the rendering is done guest-side - the system
will be pretty broken if the client sets the crtc x/y properties to somewhere where
the mouse isn't though.
An argument could be made that crtc x/y properties should be removed on the cursor
plane in drivers for para-virtualized hardware and instead replaced with
mouse_position x/y properties that do exactly what crtc x/y properties do but make
it explicit what they really are on a cursor plane.
