That in itself doesn't seem so bad. One thing we can't do though is
'position' at any negative crtc_x/y due to the fact that when clipping
the src.x1/y1 still must be even for chroma subsampled pixel formats and
the x1 still must result in scanline start addresses aligned to 8-byte
boundaries. So for 32-bit framebuffer depth negative x offsets must be
even, and for 16-bit framebuffer depth only negative x offsets that are
a multiple of 4 are possible.
