Re: [PATCH 5/5] VT binding: Add new doc file describing the feature

My point is: 'Multiple active drivers feature' is a natural consequence
of the evolution of the code, but the only way to take advantage of it
is if we provide a means for the user to use it.  And we are not
providing the means.

I'd rather not provide the means and defer this capability to a user
space implementation where we can achieve true multi-user,
multi-adapter and multi-head support. The more features we add to the
VT layer today, the harder it will be to replace it in the future.

I'd like to keep the sysfs attributes as simple as possible because if
they get too complex and flexible no one is going to know how to set
them. But you're writing the code and you'll do what you think is
best.
