You might check out my 'RandR monitors' proposal - that lets you control
the set of output areas independent from the crtc set; xf86-video-dummy
could then have *no* CRTCs and still have as many 'monitors' as you
like.

We need something like this for 4k MST monitor support; seems like it'll
be useful for yet another use here. I've posted the protocol revisions,
and there's a complete implementation in the library, protocol headers
and X server all ready for code review as well.
