Does this intend to mean userspace has the kernel's blessing on choosing an arbitrary size as long as it's smaller than &DRM_CAP_CURSOR_WIDTH x &DRM_CAP_CURSOR_HEIGHT? It's a bit to vague for me to make a confident interpretation whether I can, or whether I should pretend I didn't see SIZE_HINTS and apply the old logic, meaning only using the exact cap size.
