Well, virtio-gpu must also provide a list of modifiers then.  We need
some way for virtio-gpu to figure which modifiers are supported by the
host and which are not.  Otherwise we could list LINEAR only which
doesn't buy us much ;)

Not sure whenever virglrenderer allows that already (via
VIRGL_CCMD*QUERY* or via virgl caps).  If not we could define a new
modifiers capability for that, which could then be used for both virgl
and non-virgl mode.

take care,
  Gerd
