A better description (and implementation) would be to describe the size
of the RAM available for video purposes. The driver can then use the
requested virtual X resolution to limit (and/or compute) the virtual Y
resolution to allow Y panning/wrapping of the display.

This would match some hardware where the video RAM is indeed a separate
physical set of RAM (such as the IM-PD/1).
