Compared to previous revision:
 * rebased on primary-plane RFC series.  As a result, nearly none of the
   drivers actually compile at the moment :-P

   But it is in the end a good thing... it reduces some code paths (now
   only having to care about fbs on planes, and it avoids exposing an 
   intermediate ABI state to userspace so avoids the need for some
   compat glue later).

 * state objects now carry their own ref to fbs.  This cleaned up most of
   the refcnt'ing issues, so I'm pretty happy how that turned out.  With
   that plus all the other major hacks cleaned up, I'm happy enough to
   drop the "RFC" tag.

There are, I think, two remaining issues to solve:
 * we either need to add an event ptr param to plane->update_plane() or
   come up with another way to handle events on planes.

 * I kinda would still like to add to the atomic ioctl some way to indicate
   ok/error on a bit finer granularity than per-ioctl.  Ie. perhaps an
   array where userspace can ask for results per KMS object (crtc/plane)?
   Something along these lines would give the kernel a bit more flexibility
   to deal with some of the edge cases which come up when you gang crtcs
   for ultra high resolution displays.  In short, it would let the driver
   "steal" some of the planes if needed from userspace.

   This would also, conveniently, be pretty similar to how (AFAIU) hw
   compositor and ADF work on android.  Which seems like it would be useful
   to eventually enable android devices to use an upstream display driver.

   For this we could pretty easily just throw in a placeholder that we
   could replace later with an optional ptr to __user array.  I think
   that would be fine for an initial version, but I just wanted to throw
   this idea out there, because I think it will become important.

Note that this series is really only the beginning of atomic.  Once this
is merged, there are some various vague thoughts about next steps:
 * finish converting remaining callers of drm_mode_set_config_internal()
   to use atomic

 * replace driver usage of plane->fb with plane->state->fb.. drop plane->fb,
   somewhere along the way deprecate/drop ->page_flip() and possibly
   current incarnation of ->update_plane()..

 * perhaps some more fine grained event notification or other such
   extensions.

 * I know there are a few things I plan on ripping out / simplifying in
   drm/msm as a result of atomic, but just waiting until this is merge
   to avoid carrying such

.......

So, that all said, I am a bit curious about how we might eventually land
this series some day.  Especially once we include changes to update all
points in various drivers that access crtc->fb to crtc->primary->fb it
will be one big hairy merge-conflict-prone branch.  Not the sort of thing
that I'd really like to have to rebase for the next five kernel cycles if
at all avoidable.

We certainly could merge everything but the new ioctl, or hide the ioctl
behind an experimental module param for now.  I'm less concerned about
that (either option would be pretty easy), and more about merging the
infrastructure changes.
