This was basically what I figured which is why I didn't invest more time 
to squash changes. I agree with Christian that eventually we probably 
want something like his suggested split but for now I'd rather focus on 
tying a dc_surface to a drm_plane (and same for other objects). Starting 
to tie our objects to drm objects has been very eye-opening, to say the 
least.

Daniel, do you think you'll find time to take a look at this this week 
or next?
