Thanks for submitting this enhanced patch.

I have another question.  What does it mean to "prefer" the specified

Will the X server ignore the supplied value, or reset a video card on a
different bus, under any circumstances?

I need to know these things to write patches to the upstream
documentation, which were not supplied in your diff.
