Well, even with this patch aliases are optional. The difference is that
if you don't have any aliases, and omapdrm starts, and one of the
multiple displays has not been probed yet, that display will be
unavailable. If you do have aliases, omapdrm ensures that the displays
with an alias are probed.

But... You are probably right, travelling the graph is better.
