This raises two more questions.
1. Booting
It is possible that our only display and, worse, our source
of power is a display that can be used only in an alternate mode
and is connected via a type C connector.
We need some kind of boot time support for alternate modes.
The firmware will surely want to display something. So it is possible
that we start the OS will a valid power contract. How do we deal
with that? Renegotiate?
2. Multiple GPUs
How do we know which GPU is connected to which port?
