FWIW, this is a feature I would very much not want to add in my own
compositor. Not only there is a bunch of complexity exposing KMS props
in config files (enums, bitfields, blobs, etc), but also I don't like
the idea of having a way to set arbitrary KMS props behind my back,
which would be a very easy way to mess up the KMS state and cause
conflicts when the compositor is upgraded.
