Yes.  I can simply stick the hotspot into drm_framebuffer in
drm_mode_cursor_universal() and pick up the values in the driver's plane
update function.

Hmm, the hotspot location for a given cursor image is invariant too, so
I don't think that would be a big issue.

I'd expect userspace define a bunch of cursors, then switch between them
(instead of defining a single cursor, then constantly updating it).
