Seems reasonable. If they are mutually exclusive you might want to
expose 2 different pipelines for it.

Indeed, good catch! I listed some of them in my proposal more than one
year ago but completely forgot about them already.

Agreed. We'll need one cap for planes and one in the future for CRTCs then.
