So you create a scanout buffer and assign it to the appropriate slot in
the CRTC. Describing *how* the CRTC mixes pixels would be a good idea,
so the ordering of the slots might be relevant, and they might have a
blend mode (per-pixel alpha values, color key, separate alpha plane, etc).

I know of hardware that needs a lot more than one overlay...
