Yeah, Intel is already doing it: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/tree/src/drmmode_display.c?h=7e7db7ac530b5282b0841585959597b54fcc633b#n89 Other drivers just need to do the same, maybe by sharing some pieces here, but that would only be an implementation detail inside of X.
