Hm, do you have some pointers to read up on this? I still think a more
elaborate fail scheme is overkill, but maybe reading a bit of android code
convinces me differently ;-)

On the i915 side I think all the various pieces we need are finally coming
together, and I hope a lot of that goes in for 3.16. So I think we can
soonish jump on board with providing real proof-of-concepts based on your
ioctl.
For merging the core stuff I think we should concentrate first on getting
Matt's universal planes stuff in asap. I've scanned through his series
with a cursory look and atm it has a few change-the-world flag days. I'll
try to do an in-depth review later on looking for ways to make the
transition smoother. cursor planes seem to be the main culprit in this ...
Everything else should be doable by shoveling helper code into the
existing drm functions to handle primary and cursor planes without any
invasive driver changes. With the exception of the crtc->fb to
crtc->primary->fb transition maybe. But since that's a pure sed job it
should be doable (cocinelle job maybe).
For merging the actual atomic stuff I wonder a bit whether we shouldn't
make this fully opt-in. Atomic without driver support is a bit pointless
after all ;-) Of course we need to hide the thing behind a module option
and maybe do a add_tain(TAINT_CRAP); in the ioctl. Then we can throw the
switch once we have a few drivers ported and userspace ready and all
tested.
