We could also pass optional model-specific parameters like a special 
default video mode on machines like the eMac ( New World all-in-one CRT 
Macs have monitors with fixed horizontal frequencies, so on the eMac 
we'll want to use 1024x768@89Hz to get a usable console with radeonfb )

Since there were no responses to the original proposal I'd assume there 
are no objections? ;)

have fun
