The advantage would be that the default mode can be changed, so the host
can give a hint to the guest which of the video modes should be used.

The qemu test branch[1] adds xres and yres properties as showcase, i.e.
you can use -device vfio-pci,xres=1280,yres=900,...

Yes, the region is optional.

cheers,
