Almost, we are close.  See the remaining few comments below.

For the display-* functions, yes, I'd like to leave their definitions
explicit.

Please add a comment here explaining that MS-Windows/MS-DOS terminals
are an exception because they have built-in support for function keys.

Did you try to bootstrap with this?  frame.el is loaded after
faces.el.  (There are more similar declarations in the patches with
the same issues.)

This change should be called out in NEWS.

The new display-* predicates should probably also be mentioned in
NEWS.

Thanks.
