IMO, keyboard/display/mouse names in util.c should be returned
as a part of ioctl(2), but we have too many MI/MD drivers to
reorganize APIs.

We know wscons(4) APIs are really suck but
we also know we won't get a reasonable goal...
(I thought "WSDISPLAYIO_LINEBYTES" data should be in a WSDISPLAYIO_GINFO,
 but adding a new API was much easier than preparing compat ones.)
