I'm ok with having generic properties for these.  But I don't want to
go through the same 8 month process of getting buy-in from other
chipsets and people before the code is pushed as I've done with the
core DRM bits.

And since I know nothing of the color key support details for other
chipsets, I've simply made this one device specific.  We'll have more
in the future too; current hardware can do source keying, and future
hardware will be able to blend 3 planes per pipe together using alpha
blending.

If some other hardware has similar features and someone steps up to do
the code, I'd be happy to work with them to get some generic interfaces
in.  In the meantime though, I'd like to see some i915 interfaces so we
can actually use this stuff before the world ends in 2012.
