The thing is, --use-pixman flag is used in many places throughout the backend,
while --use-current-mode is only used by function that sets the mode. That
function is now called by the user, and is required to be called before
enabling the output, whereas it was previously done in the backend itself, and
it got the necessary configuration values by calling into an user-defined 
function
(configure output -> user defined function -> set mode).

struct drm_backend is private to compositor-drm.c as far as I'm aware. We can't
use it here.
