It could be but I don't have any implementation of this yet, which is why it's
mentioned as a todo.

I'm curious if you have any idea whether we can link back to kernel docs in
rust? We have pretty extensive documentation written up on almost all of this
already, I just have no idea how to incorporate it on the rust side.

No, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong here chat) that this is about plane
scaling rather than resolution. A lot of display hardware has the ability to
do hardware-scaling of individual display planes, so that the input
framebuffer for a plane can be larger than the actual display plane that's on-
screen.
