Driver has another struct which is super-set of these fields. Yes, we can move all these fields into struct vfio_device_query_gfx_plane. Also, we can remove some of these fields which may seem useless for user mode.

I cannot figure out the mean of plane_id either. If I remember correctly, it was asked by region usage. Of course, if no one needs it, I'd like to remove it.
