Hm, maybe we need dumb_create2, like we have addfb2?

Yeah. I think longer-term we might want to have plug-in library for
allocating buffers on the various gpus, if things get too extreme. Pulling
in something like gbm is probably too much (and wont solve anything for
display-only drivers).

This also gets into areas where kms isn't all the well-specified, so
definitely good to have better tests for it.
