This part is a bit different since here we just want to list all 
the supported modes. So we just duplicate our whole "fixed mode list"
which for now just comprises of fixed_mode and downclock_mode.

Shrug.

Disabling the seamless DRRS stuff is IMO an orthogonal issue. And I'm
not sure there is any point in disabling it actually. All the use cases
I can think of would just keep it in the high refresh rate mode all
the time anyway, and thus disabling it wouldn't achieve anything extra.
Also it's an i915 specific feature so coming up an acceptable uapi for
it is perhaps an uphill battle.

I was thinking of it as 'the thing we chose as our "fixed mode"'. But
we could just as well call it "adjusted_mode" I suppose.
