You generally do this in the bootloader and then it's useful only
for genfb.  The `gop' (for UEFI boot) or `vesa' (for legacy boot)
will work (on x86, at least).

Once the DRMKMS driver takes over, it will choose the highest resolution
supported by your HW. Here, you could try changing the resolution using
the DRM api: xsrc/external/mit/libdrm/dist/tests/modetest/ looks like a
promising subject to gut...
