Frame buffer and plane difference

[Rob Clark]

See:

http://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm/drm-mode-setting.html#idp57325824

although the docbook probably should be updated (now that we have
primary-planes) to read something more like: "...that provide a source
of pixels to scanout to a plane"

(since a plane is basically the part of display controller block that
reads in the pixel data from the fb)
