You can't put them in drm_sarea_t. There is definitely code that will
break if you do. I don't see anyway to extend drm_sarea_t without
causing binary incompatibility.  drm_sarea_t was just not designed
with binary extension in mind.

I haven't located any code that will break if you put them in the card
specific sareas. Also you only have to check the driver for the card
if you do it this way.
