In this patch we add a section to document what userspace should do to
find out the CRTC index. This is important as there are multiple places
in the documentation that need this, so it's better to just point to
this section and avoid repetition.

+CRTC index
+----------
+
+In some situations, it is important for userspace to find out the index of a
+CRTC. The CRTC index should not be confused with its object id.
+
+In order to do this, userspace should first query the resources object
+from the device that owns the CRTC (using the DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETRESOURCES
+ioctl). The resources object contains a pointer to an array of CRTC's, and also
+the number of entries of the array. The index of the CRTC is the same as its
+position in this array.
