Patch 1 looks good, but this patch needs to be adjusted.

We can support cursor plane, but only if we have an overlay plane 
enabled that's using XRGB/ARGB.

This is what we do on Chrome OS for video playback:

Cursor Plane - ARGB8888
Overlay Plane - ARGB8888 Desktop/UI with cutout for video
Primary Plane - NV12 video

So this new check would break this usecase. It needs to check that there 
isn't an XRGB/ARGB plane at the top of the blending chain instead.
