Oops, misconception on my side - I've had a year long typo in my i915
overlay code, but that was not about the size (as I've thought), but about
the ioctl number (which libdrm somehow ignores because it stitches stuff
together on my own). Indeed, upon reading that code you seem to be right.
There's the little funny caveat though that if userspace passes in less
data than the kernel expects, it's not being cleared. But that can be
fixed.

I know, and I don't mind.  Because not having it is just a unnecessary
pain for you ;-) Maybe just add a comment.
