The reason I would like to add this handler is to be able to get the
frame buffer resolution in wsfontload(8). The default width/height is
currently hardcoded and ought to be computed from the frame buffer
resolution, there is a TODO in the code.

Most framebuffer drivers have handlers already, it's only missing in KMS
drivers.
