  Although it sort of looks like it, we're not scaling the buffer, in fact this line does the exact opposite setting our viewport to match the size used in the gbm_surface_create.
  It's the projection that's scaled, not the buffer.

  From the wayland docs:
  
  >> A method of "scale" or "driver" implies a scaling operation of the surface, either via a direct scaling operation or a change of the output mode. This will override any kind of output scaling, so that mapping a surface with a buffer size equal to the mode can fill the screen independent of buffer_scale.
  >> A method of "fill" means we don't scale up the buffer, however any output scale is applied.
  
  So given we currently don't do fullscreen_method==fill, we don't need to do any changes for scaling and everything will just work \o/
